They lay silently. She was staring at something across the room. She was making him feel uncomfortable. 'It wouldn't work.

When they finally know you they're ready to leave.

By the time the bloomsUnfurl themselves for a few hours of light, the women who tend themAre already at work. Blue. I’ll never know who started the lie that we are lazy,But I’d love to wake that bastard upAt foreday in the morning, toss him in a truck, and drive him under GodPast every bus stop in America to see all those black folkWaiting to go work for whatever they want.
