Singers
Singers like O-
Singers like Odetta-and that statue
On Bedloe’s Island managed by Sol Hurok
Dancers bojangles late lamented
Katherine Dunham Al and Leon
Arthus Carmen Alvin Mary
Jazzers Duke and Dizzy Eric Dolphy
Miles and Ella and miss Nina
Strayhorn hid backstage with Luther
“do you read music?” and Louis saying
“not enough to hurt my playing”
Gospel singers who pant to pack
Golden crosses to a Cadillac
Bonds and still and Margaret Still
Global trotters baseball batters
Jackie Willie Campanella
Football players leather puncers
Unforgotten Joes and sugar Rays
Who break away like comets from lesser stars in orbit
To move out to st. Albans
Where the grass is greener
Schools are better for their children
And other kids less meaner than
In the quarter of the negroes
Where winter(s name is Hawkins
And Niagara Falls is frozen
If show fare’s more than 30¢
