"My Africian Brothers Made the Coat I Wear Today!"

by Judy Joy Jones


Today i wear a coat
of many colors
made by my brothers in Africa

Tomorrow i wrap myself
in a bejeweled sarong
sewn by my sisters in Hong Kong

And drink coffee
made by families in Brazil

Last nite
i enjoyed a symphony
ushering in
the Chinese new year

Went to
a Russian ballet
the other day

And love watching
Mexicos finest
late night tv

The planets made smaller
by the love we offer
thru the goods
we barter buy sell and trade

Blazin rainbow hues
of you and me
lighting all earths skies at night
a visual delight
our rainbow hued galaxy
with one heartbeat!
