Trimet Bus and Raymond

The guy named Raymond
big, wide
black as the night
missing a brainstem?

Disabled and warm
smiled at my service dog
as he approached Rowdy

He stayed and pat
as he was gentle as a
cat.....

We still rise, and we will not apologize for anything!

Yes, I did as an African American about using the language, black as the night, she understood the point blackness is can be viewed by others in society as fear. I like to tell it how it is.
