Interesting poem...

Heard this one this morning. I'm also on the email list so I had to go read it after I heard it. Here's an excerpt. Click to read the whole thing. It's called "The Change" by Tony Hoagland. When you follow the link scroll down to read it.

"some tough little European blonde
pitted against that big black girl from Alabama,
cornrowed hair and Zulu bangles on her arms,
some outrageous name like Vondella Aphrodite -
"
