step into the parlor of
potluck and promise
let me cook you up
some gumbo
of truth not
too harsh
followed by sundaes
and lemonade
with edible flowers
like
billie holiday
miles davis
maya angelou
amiri baraka
words of wisdom
not too easily
digested
gil scott- heron
dancing to
james brown
while chanting
on
nelson mandela
i hope to
make the proper
salutation(s)
when cookin
up in the kitchen
another soul mission
invite only
yet
open admissions
just bring another
dish that's
flavored with hope
and savors
the moments
we have to
pay the cost
for these freedoms
here
some so short
and brief
other blessings
as long as a parade
Lord knows
imma get these
bills paid
