^{"Pro-Black doesn’t mean anti-anything."
             —El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)}

there are at least twenty-seven
white people i love. i counted.

four from high school, five from
undergraduate years, maybe

three from grad school
(one gay=bonus points) &

an assortment of compelling
melanin-deprived miscreants

in chicago & countrywide.
two brothas in the afterlife

remain why i add rather than
subtract.
