With the quiet loss of middle
class oregon
The frozen grin, the stance
like a statue
The hand, finding black
mexican chinese hands
floating by the open car
That made the win in los
angeles easy
Leaving the packed hall
through a pantry corridor
shaking hands with the
kitchen staff
He was shot behind the ear
- by a blamed assassin at
the front of the procession?
Another stirring body
of american civil rights
laid to rest
3 rolls of film withheld
for 20 years
to fit the evidence
