Becoming A Man
“Want to play some half-court
at Stonewall tomorrow?”
“I’m in,” Lester agreed,
“has to be in the morning though
picking pears, for Mrs. Keeling, after lunch,”
“Be careful Les- that lady got a dangerous taste
for young boys” C.J. warned.
Smacking hands, again Lester watched
as C.J. sank into the night towards home.
Lester thought to himself
life is a lot harder for colored boys.
