My father is a handsome guy.
Looks like a cross between Clark Gable & Ernest Hemingway.
If you don’t believe me, I got proof:
Once a white woman (at one of those parties)
said to my father,
“You’re good looking for a colored man.”
You keep saying you were always there
waiting for me to see you.
you said that once
on the wings of a pale green butterfly
you rode across san francisco's... POEM NO. 10 by Sonia Sanchez.
