Folks, I'm telling you, birthing is hard and dying is mean- so get yourself a little loving in between. - Langston Hughes

For poems are like rainbows; they escape you quickly.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records — Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the same things other folks like who are other races.
