POTUS and history's port calls
How many code words
are there for the black man
in America?
prisons as reparations
gifted loudly
baiting the thoroughbred
separations, church the state
inclinations and a centuries long
blood institution courtship of affect...
coming home to roost...
some of us
still remember Malcolm X
at the end of his life
and what he had said too
do you Mr. President, do you?
