I was up late getting a few things done and hanging out on twitter when ...
I was feeling sad that way you do when loss catches you by surprise. Then I figured out what I'd do.
The older poems are all in the archives, along with a few others.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should also post one of Dad's autobiographical sketches. I just might.

Folks I’ve got them hungry blues
And nothin’ in this to lose
People tellin’ me to choose
Between dyin’ and lyin’ and keep
on cryin’
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain’t you heard the news
There’s another thing to choose
A brand new world clean and fine
Where nobody’s hungry
And there’s no color line
A thing like that’s worth
anybody dyin’
I ain’t got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
James P. Johnson
Langston Hughes
