Boston's Poet Laureate, Sam Cornish, crafts this song of love. (Read the magnified text below the image.)
ROMANCE
For them O & M
Beyonce and
the good old
songs
our parents
danced to
"At Last"
it is the two
of them
old school
slow
dancing
one
step
and then
another gliding
to the music
"At Last"
my lonely
days
are over
the two
of them
leaning
with the music
the song
is them
and us their
hearts
move
each other
hers
his
so close
they are
these two
we cannot
see
how dark
the ballroom
is young
people
thinking
it is our fathers
our mothers
in love
so
long
ago
— Sam Cornish
Decades ago, Sam and I were teammates on Education Development Center's nationwide project to guide learner-centered curriculum development initiatives as part of the federally-supported "Great Society" broad agenda to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. And great love for students, teachers, families, and communities was key in whatever successful outcomes came of our team's work with them nationwide.
