Friday, November 25th, 2005BLACK PRESIDENT 1995
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005Somebody told me that we have a Black President,
just ‘cuz he didn’t want to go to ‘Nam
and ‘cuz he smoked weed,
and ‘cuz he cheated on his old lady,
and ‘cuz he says words like ‘cuz.
But the only Black man that I know,
never smoked a joint,
fought in the war against Black America,
and did two rounds with the VIET CONG,
he was a champion for the foundation of Black culture;
FAMILY.
You won’t agree with everything he says,
but you know he will never lie to you.
That’s the only Black man that I know.
Dad.
CLARENCE A. PENN III 1944 – 2005
HOME RUN 1985
Saturday, November 19th, 2005I love my home.
The center of the world(NYC).
Get anywhere in the tri-state in about 15 minutes.
At the corner of 34th Av and 113th St.
The Louis Armstrong School.
I open my window to receive
the orgy of noise that is the summer.
Empty playgound echoes the sound
of pennies tossed from a tenth floor terrace.
Endless drone of piston provoked rubber rings
as Z28’s and 240 SX’s float upon the Grand Central.
Shrieking, creaking, groaning, moaning on elderly rails
the elevated flails for Times Square.
Thunder screams from a DC-37
polished aluminum bird leaves LaG.
And with all of this going on
still the sweetest song.
36,749 strong
When #18 takes a leather wrapped ball of string
and places it in the rightfield parking lot.
