Green Car

The Green Car:
Morning crisp
Sun brighter than it needs to be
But I have little control over the sun or
Where this is heading

Lies and mom and I must go
To the park to meet my childhood friend and foe that will soon be let go...
As soon as that green car
All I know is that it’s a green car
Comes rolling down the road

Walk down the street
That I learned to play
Learned to ride a bike on an almost as, sunny day
Not as bright but life changed
In a big way
That day that I rode away

As soon as that green car
Comes rolling up to my side
And I look in at you and can no longer hide
From where this is heading
Where you will take me with you,
Away.

And I’ll Never look back,
Because I'm hoping you'll say
That you love me more
And will hold me tight
And suddenly all that is wrong in me, will be right.
As we speed so far
Far far and away
In a green car.

A Sunny Spot.

Sunny runs Lenox Fast Food breakfast spot in Central Harlem. He and his beautiful wife, And Fernando, Run the spot on Lenox Ave, Just below 143rd St. Next to a bar called 'A Touch of Dee'.  They serve plates, Fried fish, Coffee with milk or half 'n' half only... And cheese grits.  Everyone orders the cheese grits. I've never had them, But secretly, always want to try them.  The waffles are toaster waffles, And come in 2 sizes:  Regular and silver dollar.  There are tins ready with butter, Prepped bacon, And these little metal bowls, That Fernando has on hand to mix your eggs.  Which he folds with precision and skill. In the back of this narrow, Black-painted-walled hole in the wall (the kinda spot my Dad would love), On this block of Lenox Ave., There is a picture of Obama- maybe from 2008. On the wall next to the "If someone is choking" sign. Today a man, Much taller than me, With a smile and energy that could light up NY, A man who Sunny knew by name, Wa...

My Pride

" My P r i d e "  Lyrics by Daniel May A man once told me that I couldn't come back, Our secret too un-safe to be sound. I begged and I plead-ed for my unsworn little life!   That, with him, I'd finally be found. He touched me. He tore me, Deeeep-er and clipped my wings far from the ground. In pieces I fell, Into the swell. Swirling like dust to the ground. My pride is what's keeping me from telling you, The truth, The pain of what's going down. I'm a lost little boy with no sheep to be found and each day just feels like the same. My Mother, She scold me, And told me, "You can be anything that you work to be." But running and jumping through fiery rings, Leaves men singed, Burnt so black they can't see. She held me, and told me... "There's a light at the end of this tunnel! Don't leave befooore it gleeeams." And then she let me go, (with) My pride in tow, ...
