Rehab #1
You reviled the stale
Cheerios in rehab
But not the fellow addicts
Who leave open
The bag in the box open....
You have never not been that way:
A righteous heart -
The raw pink diamond
Run through with two parallel flaws.
You sobbed
Reading Hughes's poem,
Knowing to be true the notion
That a dream deferred
Explodes -
Harlem in any Summer it must.
