Poem1- An Aberrant Friendship

I see Jim before me,
In the day, in the night,
Sometimes moonlight or sometimes storms.
Thinking over our trip down the river,
If its dark, he wouldn’t let me go by myself.
If I saved him, he would be grateful.
He was the only best friend I ever had
Always smiled around gradually,floated around singing and laughing.

Poem 2- FUSION

I would go to work and steal Jim out of slavery again
I would do that!
I would do that because, as long as I was in , and in for good,
I might as well go all the way.
They took my nigger
The only nigger I’ve got in the world.
I’m in a strange country,
And I ain’t got no more property no more,
But what happened to poor Jim?
I followed the men to see what they were going to do,
Do to my poor Jim
They cussed him and gave him a cuff or two,
But he never said nothing,
Nothing that let on to know me.
