“Lippy Randolph? That brat in my class? Maybe he took it.”

“Lordie, what is all the fuss? That doll’s seen better days.”

“You’d be in a tizzy, too, if it was your doll, Mama!”

“Tell me, how am I supposed to hear Miss Mahalia

singing like the bluebird choir? Flapping your gums

about some no-eyed doll!”

“One-eyed, Mama. A green marble.”

ANTHEM FOR ROSA PARKS

She finished up her job at Montgomery Fair,

mending women’s clothes for little pay,

the day that came to redefine our lives,

otherwise ordinary in every way.

At six o’clock, she caught the bus for home.

What happened next? For some, original sin.

Was she tired? She said, “The only tired

I was, was tired of giving in.”
