Premium Member Backroom
When fear and stress
   overwhelm
I squeeze into the backroom 
   of my mind...
I slip away 
into the world of words

Molasses
My lips drip molasses as thick as the blood that flows through me. I am seasoned to perfection delighting in my appetite. Bittersweet sonnets play in the backroom as I revel delicacies.

Passion torn without remorse
Screamed in rage but now I’m hoarse
Frustration hidden, turned to pain
Posters flimsy, fiercely waved

Saw our numbers flux and fade

Saw two children, both my own
Saw my rage as time on loan
In backyards saw transcendent me
Love suburban-born reality....

lessons handed down
no acts of kindness
more like the answer
to the question
are we paying attention

back in sixty-five
forty second and San Pedro
backroom of the barber shop
racking pool balls for pennies
or whatever them players
saw fit to handout 

hustle in some folk’s eyes
scripture in others
Gandhi or Elijah Muhammad 
Jesus over Iceberg Slim

a world like a bordello
filled with pimps and Johns
and the only ho' in the room 
was me...
