Brown. How apt.
(I know this is already a few months after the incident, but I think most people should still be able to guess (no, not guess! positively know!) what incident I’m referring to…)
Beale Street Love
Langston Hughes
.Love
Is a brown man’s fist
With hard knuckles
Crushing the lips,
Blackening the eyes, -
Hit me again,
Says Clorinda.
All it needs is a change in the last first name.
