"Old North State" "Bob Said GoodBye" and "One Day"

Old North State

Where I come from
The grass is very soft
Mama's Homemade wine is strong

Where I come from
The train tracks divide the town
Like the Great Wall of China

Where I come from
White and Black folk are kin
But they don't speak of this proud lineage

Where I come from
We scream and scream
And we scream some more

Where I come from
There are no Queers, since
Kinfolk like me best in Cali

Where I come from
Whites pity Blacks
Mothers pity unmarried daughters
Fathers pity unruly sons and

Where I come from
Everyone Loves and hates Queers

Bob Said Goodbye

And this time he meant it

No, not waiting
nor wanting God,
family, or friends
to come to
the rescue

There was but one solutions

Bob said goodbye
he did not
look back

He did not
care to think
himself selfish
while sitting in
the bathtub
unconscious
nor did he worry
about all those left
behind to deal
with his decision

He was bold and brave
he did not
waiver
clear and decisive
till the end when

Bob said goodbye

ONE DAY

-Ramekon O'Arwisters

Dragging your long wavy hair

Down my face, tingling as

The ends touch my skin

Down toward my chest

Down, down still further

Your face hidden in my lap

Your hair now a mountain

How round and

Smooth the peak

How perfect the slope

How happy I am
