I'm A Poet, Like Langston Hughes: Word is Bond Book Club

Plowing through a Langston Hughes collection, here are two choice gems:
Request:
Gimme 425.00
and the change.
I'm going
where the morning
and the evening
won't bother me.

Motto:
I play it cool
And dig all jive. That's the reason
I stay alive.

My motto,
As I live and learn,
is:
Dig and Be Dug
In Return.

like Dig Dug, partner crashes in
with the infrared precision shots, just missin
