Getting off my novacaine
having survived this poison food
Never forced fed it
I soon not forget
Was always free to.reject
it . Like Adam choose the forbidden
tree
I chose not to be free
So accustom to this slavery
it's become normalcy
Never having really discovered me
Who am I outside of this history
of Black men lacking identity
Am I American or displaced African
Am I a Cotton patch negro
Or Black man who knows
his true place in the modern...
