What Would I Do White
What would I do white? What would I do clearly full of not exactly beans nor pearls my nose a manicure my eyes a picture of your wall? I would disturb the streets by passing by so pretty kids on stolen petty cash would look at me like foreign writing in the sky I would forget my furs on any chair. I would ignore the doormen at the knob the social sanskrit of my life unwilling to disclose my cosmetology, I would forget. Over my wine I would acquire I would inspire big returns to equity the equity of capital I am accustomed to accept like wintertime. I would do nothing. That would be enough. from Some Changes (1971) and from Directed by Desire. The Collected Poems of June Jordan. Copyright 2005 by the June M. Jordan Literary Estate Trust |
