4 haiku (for Max Roach) by Sonia Sanchez
1. i need to catch your brain and steady it
2. let's impeach this yellow detour of your memory
3. how dare your sweet hands forget you!
4. i kiss the surprise always in your eyes.

January Morning: Suite 15
by W. C. Williams
All this —
was for you, old woman.
I wanted to write a poem
that you would understand.
For what good is it to me
if you can’t understand it?
But you got to try hard —
But —
Well, you know how
the young girls run giggling
on Park Avenue after dark
when they ought to be home in bed?
Well,
that’s the way it is with me somehow.
