My Journey-Circa 1943
Her Eyes like Deep Vortexes warping The Years'
of her visuals throughout lifes' Hurt&Pain...
She was only but a fresh face in an unfamiliar place
or was she?
Women scouled as she sached through the crowd,
Her almond-brown skin glistening under the lounge lights...
Only to be stopped by a tall white man in a grey pin-striped suit(PAUSE)!

"Excuse me maam,this section here is all whites!
Now unless you want to be carried out by the
police I suggest you book it out of here!"He said
to her in the nastiest tone she ever heard..
So outraged she replyed,"How much money do
you make?"
He stepped back and said,"Well thats none of your business
nigger,You quite the funny gal.Bet I'll get a real kick from
watching yo smart-ass gettin thrown through the front entrance..
Guards show this ole wide-hipped sewer nigger to the alley!"
She fired back,"It doesnt matter how much you make ain't
enough money in the world that can fix yo ugly critter of a face!"
SHE LAUGHED&LAUGHED&LAUGHED so hard that
she barely even noticed the bouncers approach her...
As they grabbed her ruffed her up&carried her
to the door,She shouted back to that mean ole white man,,
One day when Im FAMOUS& owner of MY OWN lounge,we'll see
who gets the last laugh!
She mumbled underneath her breath,"Yeah that's right ME!"
Her knees hit the pavement ,"Ouch Is that how you treat a lady?
She screamed at the bouncers...
"I dont see any ladies around here just a sad lil ole dirty nigger-gal in need of an
ass-whippin..Now you bess run yo ass home darkie for I send for the cops!"
shouted one of the bouncers as they both laughed & slammed the
entrance doors....Her eyes filled with tears as she scraped herself up
from the pavement...She prayed that God get her safely to her house as she
ran home, 15 blocks NONSTOP!
