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
