Lost Masterpiece Poem by Laurence Overmire
Lost Masterpiece
Michelangelo
Was born black in 20th century America.
He was a shoeshine boy and a waiter
A garbage man and a handyman
A store clerk and a construction worker.
In fact, he spent so much time surviving
He barely had time for his art.
He died when he was 50.
And no one ever heard of him again.
