At this age, change seemed absurd to some
They sat in a confusion as the streets grew to life
Amazed at the way the sun looked new
Ululate one time
She told her neighbor
Let your voice be heard in this strange new throng
Who thought the old could live to see this far
Let our shudder rise on high

BLACK RENAISSANCE NOIRE
When the news reached home
The village was alive with fire
And all the children raised dust with their feet
