poem
“But she can work like a man.”
“Women work. I’m a man.”
“Most times mens look pretty much alike to me.”
“But I don’t know how to fight.”
“All I know how to do is stay alive.”
“He try to give her a compliment, she pass it on to me.”
“He look at me. It like he looking at the earth.”
“Anyhow, they don’t love me neither, no matter how good I is.”
“Then he say, You better git on back to the field. Don’t wait for me.”
“Nobody fight for Shug, he say. And a little water come to his eyes.”
