heat rolls down the mountain side
like rainwater after a storm,
we brag about our youth because
age puts us into despair...
Malcolm X solved the problem
of race by waging war against
those who were not black,
white peddle dope since they
are raised on privilege...
doubt enters our lives through
the backdoor of lovers who
origins are Haitian and not the
blue bloods of the vineyard,
summer brings the humidity
and the sweat smell of rain,
fresh cut grass and magnolia
blossoms but no one has the
right the block the transition
of spring by claiming if is the
fault of those who believe in
climate change as the enemy
of idle summer school dropouts.
