Hoe Boy Considers Alabama Pitts
White privilege revealed
in Albany even as Judge Landis
ruled in a felon's favor,
the black shackles tightened
another notch knowing,
law-abiding and great
was not good enough
for this man's baseball--
what they wrote in
negro Philadelphia,
gray Pittsburgh,
Babe's Baltimore
while Dizzy brayed
across the river, and
somewhere in North
Carolina, the batboy
dressed as Satch
struck out
a whole town.
