A black woman on TV
on a barber’s chair
lambasting indoctrinated
black children educated
in public schools –
white man are superior beings.
A Japanese poetess
wrote ancient haikus
parenthetically wondering
who on her pillow
her samurai shares.
A cross-dressed authoress
wrote in pretense
she’s a man
of her word.
A Brit wrote a play
a pauper flower girl
a guinea pig on a bet
she’d be a magnificent
debutante.
A professor wrote
a story of a boy
raised by wolves
abducted by men –
living incessantly
like an animal.
Some Deaf
grappled for air to sign
Some deaf
gasped for air to say –
the light flashed
no food for naught.
That’s the tale no one told.
