Poem
The Negro Looks at Livers
I've Known livers
I've Know livers as old as the world and filled
With Human Blood
My soul is as old as my liver
I've know fat men who could make their livers quiver
I've know skinny men with nothing but a sliver of a liver
I know a German who eats onions with his liver
I saw a man drowning his liver in the river
I've know livers
Squishy, bloody livers
My soul is as old as my liver
