While the others
majored in pre-law,
Hiram majored in post-law.
While they practiced
their interviewing skills,
he fell in love with women--
in particular and as a
concept. While the others
began good careers,
Hiram drove on dirt roads,
found some employment,
and wrote odd poetry.
While they took over a
political Party and insisted
on hating Black people,
Hiram read Black authors,
listened to blues, soul,
and funk, and was politically
powerless. They sold their
souls. He rented his out, but
never for very long.
They dined on the entrails
of the poor. He grew
his own vegetables.
