The colored people will not “clown.”

The colored people arrive, sit firmly down,

Eat their Express Spaghetti, their T-bone steak,

Handling their steel and crockery with no clatter,

Laugh punily, rise, go firmly out of the door.

VIII Beverly Hills, Chicago

(“and the people live till they have white hair”)

E. M. PRICE

The dry brown coughing beneath their feet,

(Only a while, for the handyman is on his way)

These people walk their golden gardens.

We say ourselves fortunate to be driving by today.
