but us po' creatures o'His got da hard part--ya unnerstan'?--
we gotta fo'give 'n' fo'get--
that's what the old guy said to me
as he sat in the shade of the el on
a blistering day--
he has it worse than I do--
(and I have it pretty rough
and so does almost everyone else I know--
no Republicans here--)
some belongings in a cart--
sopping dirty white shirt--
shades and straw fedora
and not begging--not begging--
just telling it like it is--
the same shit
over and over
on every level
of the Vengeful One's creation--
and oh what grace? what grace?
what grace?
