She Was Saving Up Feelings For Some

It's A Funny Thing, The Less People Have To Live For, The Less Nerve They Have To Risk Losing Nothing.

It Is One Of The Blessings Of This World That Few People See Visions And Dream Dreams.

She's Got Those Big Black Eyes With Plenty Shiny White In Them That Makes Them Shine Like Brand New Money And She Knows What God Gave Women Eyelashes For, Too. Her Hair Is Not What You Might Call Straight. It's Negro Hair, But It's Got A Kind Of White Flavor. Like The Piece Of String Out Of A Ham. It's Not Ham At All, But It's Been Around Ham And Got The Flavor.

She Starched And Ironed Her Face, Forming It Into Just What People Wanted To See.

She Had An Inside And An Outside Now And Suddenly She Knew How Not To Mix Them.
