It’s
My memory of a black station
A reserve
And
It won’t go away
The memory that is
It’s been years
And still
I
Recall the broken glass
The heat
The kids with one eye closed from puss
The snotty cheeks of a kid without even a handkerchief
The misery of youth
The teenage boredom
A burnt classroom
The mistrust of my white skin
Most of all I recall the skinny dogs
The shyness
The sadness
The trepidation
The fear
The disgrace
No education black or white
For my black brothers and sisters
Only an alcohol fuelled binge
Fully
Government funded
