You got caught
there
You got caught there, didn't you? No, it's all right,
no need to apologize. Everyone does it at least once. At some point

Racism in my lifetime
I have had the privilege of growing up on the East Coast in the
N.Y. area, which some would call a type of melting pot. Fortunately,
I haven't come in contact with much blatant racism. I grew up around
all sorts of people: black, white, Filipino, Latino, Asian and just
about every other kind of ethnicity.

Emerging from the bubbles
And the butterflies of life
Stepping out of the marshmallow stories
And endless pillow fights...

And found a pleasant surprise.
I found a note from my mother,
Who is loving, caring, and wise...

Or feebly stumbles back?
