Macon, Georgia '88

Except on sundays when she goes to church

Mrs. Floyd

goes to the campaign office every day if only
to sit till closing time. In all of her ninety four
years she never figured a black man would be

running

for president.

Two Guys

Two
guys
on
Sixth
Street
Two
guys
in
the
same
boat


Not waiting for the tide any more

A House is Not a Home

Around here
no tourists
or politicians
come by
but an
Animal shelter
is not far away
and a
Man makes
his home
in
a

car

Rain in America

It's November
and
the rains have come

The Republicans
have made a sweep
but

Ken and I know
it's okay

because
the land knows
what to do
with all that rain
and

the people never

forget

Gospel Music

Gospel
music
comes

out
of
the
pores
of
the land

Pours
over
every
hill
and
valley

leaving
no
stone
unturned
No
heart
untouched
