Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie Quotes

“I have waited
toes curled, hat rolled
heart and genitals
in hand
on the back porches
of forever
in the kitchens and fields
of rejections
on the cold marble steps
of America’s White Out-House
in the drop seats of buses
and the open flies of war”
― Maya Angelou, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie

“My sin lies in not screaming loud”
