Dare I post this in the milieu I find myself in?, something within<\/p>\n
me says fuck-it.<\/p>\n
I do believe I know a wee bit about Black people due to observation<\/p>\n
and experience on my part.<\/p>\n
I love the word succinct and its meaning, therefore I shall strive to be just that,<\/p>\n
and as to that I do believe I can distill my observations ,thoughts,<\/p>\n
down to just a few words.<\/p>\n
I’ve played whist with them behind bars, I’ve witnessed them working in<\/p>\n
a dye factory in Bayonne, New Jersey, looking no longer black but purple,<\/p>\n
I’ve accompanied them down into the no. 1 holds of United States Lines<\/p>\n
freighters, we shared an excellent Port as I recall, I have read Cleaver.<\/p>\n
I have tightened-up in the back of a pickup-truck at seven o’clock<\/p>\n
in the morning and politely declined a swig of Muscatel, kindly offered,<\/p>\n
on the way to eight hours on our knees weeding peppers.<\/p>\n
You ask me what do I know?, I say what’s to know, they’re Americans.<\/p>\n
Islander.<\/p>\n
