Still the syn-tactical surgeon
With precision pen, atomic tenor,
Suturing my severed tongue

Ho Chi Minh penned in
Prison Poems, the
Poet must also
Know how to lead an attack
Not a god or stamp, you
Are still my father, son and
Holy-ghost, post-Langston,
Sterling poet warrior
Still the syn-tactical surgeon
With precision pen, atomic tenor,
Suturing my severed tongue
Still the armory
Issuing anti-fracking ordinance
For strikes on Mengeles
At Monsanto
Still the arsenal
Supplying smart bombs for
Our war on government-guided
Attack-Negroz like
Da Men of Steele ā Shelby and
Michael ā Long Dong Silver, AKA,
Thom-Ass Clarence, Ward Connerly,
Colin Powell and dem imperialist Rice wenchesā¦
I searched frantically for you at the end
Of the Apolloās Sekou Sundiata celebration;
I jumped over a chair, just missing you, at
The Harlem Stage tribute to Abbey Lincoln;
Finally, caught you at the Schomburgās
Langston Hughes Auditorium, at the
Fidel-Malcolm Meeting book talkā
Forgave you for slipping
On Iceberg Slim, and
Told you, āI LOVE YOUā¦ā
