Everybody and his brother is out stepping along
in this summer-like day in the dead of winter.
At every corner I see men of different hues--
not fighting but "five-ing".
Such a beautiful day, and
Here's H. Rap Brown walking with a white woman--
A bluebird sings from Rap's shoulder and diamond
lights sprinkle from the woman's neck and fingers--
And there's Uncle Remus hastening toward a bench.
"Got some new tales, some wonderful new tales,"
he calls, gathering his arms all around...
