three raw organic Jumbo eggs  date seed tea  Medjool dates(an Algerian taxi driver told him so)  black coffee  Irish whiskey 
        his morning diet an elixirs

not a diet Bob Richards Mr. Wheaties would have endorsed  but then he wouldnt have endorsed Richards 1984 presidential run at the head of the far Right Populist Party that four years later backed white nationalist David Duke   oh  hed be chagrined if he didnt mention Duke was the KKKKs(yes he didnt stutter  Knights of the Ku(less) Klux Klan) Grand Wizard  he supposed Duke did magick tricks at late night cockantail parties in the South  LSUhe hated acronyms  Louisiana State University  must be awful proud of the Duke  Hail White Pride?  Heil White Pride?  Awgotohell   Did you know heil meant Salvation? he hadnt  but then he was never ashamed of his ignorance because he learned to correct it  he never held his Ignorance as a blunt staff or a lofty banner of pridehow is it possible to be proud of being Ignorant  but  it helps if your White  when youre White in America you dont have to apologeez for your entitlementyou just ride it as you would ride a horse to death or beat a dog to death  horse  dog  they aint human  an Gawd knows White Man is superior to all beastsparticularly othercoloured lesser human beasts

he wouldnt have the keen ability to retell that posit if his father didnt blindly buy wholesale into his fathers ignorance 

his grandfather bragged of participating in the 1919 Chicago race riot  he didnt say how he participated  but he was a returned World War 1 vet who fought in the trenches of France

he might gleam that a man who worked in a slaughterhouse isnt upset by the sight of blood or killing an animal   

now if he was stupid he would be proud of his paternal family heritage

unfortunately or fortunately his grandfather died when he was a boy 

he couldnt take his father to task for the sins of his father

but nevertheless he was relentless in attacking his fathers racism  an ignorance

2008  a telephone call
                   You must be mighty happy you got your nigger president

Im mighty happy a capable an thoughtful man is president

2016  a telephone call
                   You must be nighty happy you got your whitey president

You can say that again
                   You must be mighty happy you got your whitey president


sometimes he wondered what the Algerian taxi driver would say to his father

Cuchulain Comforted

A MAN that had six mortal wounds, a man
Violent and famous, strode among the dead;
Eyes stared out of the branches and were gone.
Then certain Shrouds that muttered head to head
Came and were gone. He leant upon a tree
As though to meditate on wounds and blood.
A Shroud that seemed to have authority
Among those bird-like things came, and let fall
A bundle of linen. Shrouds by two and three
Came creeping up because the man was still.
And thereupon that linen-carrier said:
“Your life can grow much sweeter if you will
Obey our ancient rule and make a shroud;
Mainly because of what we only know
The rattle of those arms makes us afraid. 
                                                                                      
“We thread the needles’ eyes, and all we do
All must together do." That done, the man
Took up the nearest and began to sew. 
                                                                                             
“Now must we sing and sing the best we can,
But first you must be told our character:
Convicted cowards all, by kindred slain
Or driven from home and left to die in fear.”                                                                                     
They sang, but had nor human tunes nor words,
Though all was done in common as before;
They had changed their throats and had the throats of birds.
