Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben
Got the boot because of their skin
For those who take fright

Taste's the same since I don't know when!...

Dark Dawn
Light is awaking,
New dawn is breaking,
A breathtaking morning,
Now faces scream warning!
Spreading lava!
Getting faster!
Eruption!
Destruction!
Shaking!
Taking!
Dark.

Jemima
My best friend, Jemima
She’s in my class at school
She’s not especially pretty
She’s not what you’d call cool
She can’t spell words for toffee
She always gets in late
She’s never got a pencil, but
Jemima’s my best mate...

I do not know?
Those Are the -- Commercial -- Breaks
I used to have Alka-Seltzer stomachs
spitting Excedrin headaches
Had a lot to like in a Marlboro
even ate Aunt Jemima pancakes
I admit -- I thought Coke was xxxtt
was a member of the Pepsi Generation
Used to expect more from Standard
~ Did I ever get it?...

Uncle Ben
The rice I use is Uncle Ben’s
Or was until today,
For just like Aunt Jemima,
Uncle Ben will go away.
He’s leaving with a friend of his
Named Mrs. Butterworth.
Like Aunt Jemima, she is known,
By many, for her girth.
To think of all that packaging
About to go to waste!
I hope that their replacements
Have, in both ways, better taste....

Being Jemima
Being Jemima
Aunt Jemima! Who in God’s name
Came up with that name?
Molded polyurethane encasing
Thick sweet amber
You didn’t even think enuf of me
To give me decent clothes
I can do better than smother hotcakes
Take this kerchief off my head, you hear?
I ain’t no maid, no servant, no flapjack topper
Get me off this table and let me be what
I was destined to be, what I’m free to be.
Aunt Jemima. Really. What’s takin’ so long?

Prose
Sprinkled Cinnamon
The smell of green grass after rain
A silky texture was added to the moisturized air gently touching my skin
Listening to a Bossa Nova and the calming waves
Espresso with a little whipped cream
Cinnamon is sprinkled on top
My dear cat Jemima, meowed
That was her reply to my sneeze
“That music isn't your taste!
What’s the matter with you?”
Someone said over there
“Is that right? Thank you for telling me.”
He might know who I am more than me....
