response to Meanwhile

Meanwhile
Ivy Joan Young
Is precious but no more
Never ever heard of her
Apologies

Breath meanwhile
Is my necessity
Panic prevails
Heartbeats fly

The film is bohemian unique
Artful
I learned that
Grandma dies while a child
Blows Bubbles
Not so far away

I was at peace watching
As black Injustice
Didn’t holler
At my white face
But castigated me with the sorrow of
My Avoidance and
Responsibility

I longed to know who was speaking
I wondered who could buy film
?
Pragmatically speaking!

I took pride in the maker who made
Message
Poetry
Film

And I was made aware of
Style
Original to Message

So thank you
For a mellow experience
Of soft rage
And unusual
