*For “East of the River” Washington DC*
A hush fell over Adams Morgan
The rain fell and perms were ruined
Party plans fell through
A rainbow flies over the Southside.
Corner boys sippin’ lean
Discussing Trump nomination and ex-girlfriend plots
“My niggas you betta register to vote, shit is real”
A rainbow flies over the Southside.
Hands are held in public
People stare, but it doesn’t matter, love is love
Shy girl knows lovers lips for the first time
A rainbow flies on the Southside.
Gray skies turned to sunset
Work day turned to happy hour in Eastern Market
Poverty turned to appreciation of life in Anacostia
A rainbow flies over the Southside.
This piece is fantastic, well done.
Thank you very much. As I rode my bus across that Anacostia Bridge, the our cold spring rain came to an end and my neighborhood appeared to be at the end of a wonderfully arched rainbow. We are seen as a pretty impoverished area, so I found it amusing that we would be the “pot of gold” at the end today.
Thank you for sharing, I highly enjoyed this.
Just- just, yes.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking time to read my work superstar!
