Long Bolden Poems

The curtain rises on Bumblebee Babineaux walking self-confidently along Chartres Street.

Bumblebee [singing]: Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride, nobody’s gonna slow me down. Oh, no, I got to keep on movin’…

Ignoring the fact that I’m an unanswered phone to the core
I believe that I have no one to hold
So extremely cold and hardly bold

Arm the homeless
With pitchforks

Something is being said

for all to hear.

Something is giving us life

to beat all this strife,



Something is being loving

to heal our pain...
