It happened on Pleasant
street
where echoes of laughter
ring
from three girlfriends living
a Dream
and birthday celebrations
ushering
a coming of age
brokered
by a smile in the dark
and
“Nice black friend
You’ve got there.”

Yes, unfortunately, it mirrors an experience I had in high school that stunned and then, unintentionally, empowered me…
Thank you. It’s sad but true fact that there are people on this world who feel they’re licensed to bring darkness in other’s lives.
Short and to the point.Well put, many of us have shared that experience.
