When fear and stress
overwhelm
I squeeze into the backroom
of my mind...
I slip away
into the world of words
Words that tell
and know,
and heal.
nineteen-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
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. The night shows suspense as i lay on my bed,curtains swaying with the wind. My mind is at rest and my dreams are abundant. I close my eyes and hear the tempo of music being sung.
Passion torn without remorse
Screamed in rage but now I’m hoarse
Frustration hidden, turned to pain
Posters flimsy, fiercely waved
Causes spend our youthful
For faithless men you dare not trust
Watched our leaders backroom trade
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.
