Black Umbrella
in our custom
a man must take an umbrella
and must raise it
like a gentleman
it must remain raised
even when the rain stops
until the woman signals
otherwise
this time it is the Chief Justice
doing it for the First Lady of
the President
there is more to this tradition
than meets the eye
it is my perfect picture of
subservience and
corruption....
