"How still, How strangely still The water is today, It is not good For water To be so still that way. ~ "Sea Calm - Langston Hughes

If I were marooned on a desert island...I would miss...Jackie Ormes's cute drawings

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek — And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.
