Dorsey Baker Poems

Chewing gum
they did a lot of it
in the old days
the young people
...

Mother us America
Mother us
we want the safety
of your womb
...

You shut me down
you took
my power away from me
You shut me down
...

Grass turn
to green
birds start
to sing
...

A few moments
of happiness
out of so many years
of sadness
...

When love is only
going one way
its usually
on a dead end street
...

An apartment
is no place for privacy
when the walls
are very thin
...

I've got the happy birthday
blues
I'm out of whisky
I aint got no
...

You can have the farm
the grassy fields
give me the city
the bright lights
...

New year be a good one
because the
last one is gone
New year be a good one
...
