"Imaginary Brother As Witness"
Pencil on newsprint
(1966; water damage in early 1980s)
1966
Looking northeast this morning after the icy fog lifted on Rosa Parks Day:
"If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say, 'There lived a great people—a black people—who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.'"
(Martin Luther King, Jr., 1955)

It's a beautiful pencil drawing - and the aging paper and water damage actually seem to enhance it in an interesting and wonderful way.
I am struck by your perceptive poetry at 17.
