Richard Wright’s Hunger Project

CEE

A man without a country, people, connection
A person not hobnobbing with H.L. Mencken
But having fallen bassackwards into
A place deserved at the table,
Chicago John Reed Club, 1930’s
Man with mind finds himself
An island of introspection in
Humanity’s sea of buttscratchers;
But who was more vapid, more obtuse?
The buttscratchers, in homemade
Demographic pirate hats?
Or the accidental intellectual writer
Who GOD FORBID reserves Self
As a thing shared instead of
Wound with a skate key...and yet
Keeps popping coins into the
We Reject You group machine?
Although, friends remembered
Mooned after women
Who did everything but hit ‘em with mace
Until gray, bald, leatherface or dead
Love Me Love Me
Please give me a pirate hat
