   WON’T YOU CELEBRATE WITH ME

   BY LUCILLE CLIFTON

   won’t you celebrate with me

   what i have shaped into a kind of life?

   i had no model.

   born in babylon

   both nonwhite and woman

   what did i see to be except myself?

   i made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay,

   my one hand holding tight my other hand;

   come celebrate with me

   that everyday something has tried to kill me

   AND HAS FAILED…

   Check out the video of Bev, Colin and Sham on M&N Eminent.
