RAINBOW
I like the white witch of the west better than the black witch of the north.
that might make me racist.
i like my white shirts white.
i don’t like those black stains around the collars.
that might make me a racist.
I like to whitewash my picket fence.
paint my ceilings white and whitewall tires.
that might make me a racist.
i don’t like all the black at funerals.
that might make me a racist.
but I like dark chocolate more than I do white chocolate.
that might make me a racist.
THE CIRCUS . . . . . . . . . AND THE ZOO
