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.”
It is essential I remember
ours was a fair exchange.
We were a happy consequence
to paths of darkness
in a world
no less terrible or strange
for all our... MAN WHITE, BROWN GIRL AND ALL THAT JAZZ by Gloria C. Oden.
