I learned I learned a lot and I learned
that it makes a difference this was the
diving board area and I was one of the
guards and they were allowed to it was a
three meter board if you fell off
sideways you landed on the damp side the
darn cement over there and corn pop was
a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad
boys and I did and back in those days I
had things had changed one of the things
had to use if you use pomade your hair
you had to wear a bathing cap
and she was up on the board wouldn't
listen I said hey Esther you off the
board I'll come up and drag you off well
he came off and he said I'll meet you
outside my car this was mostly his raw
public housing behind it my car there
was a gate on here I parked my car
outside the gate and I said I'll be
waiting for you say Byrnes three guys
and straight razors not a joke there's a
guy named Bill right-mouse the only
white guy and he did all the poles
he was the mechanic and I said what am I
going to do he said come down here in
the basement where mechanics were went
wrong the pool builder is you know the
chain used to being chained that went
across the deep end and he cut off a
6-foot length of chain he pulled up and
said you walk out with that chain and
you walked that far and say you may cut
me man but I'm going to wrap this chain
around your head I said you kidding me
he said no if you don't don't come back
and he was right
so I walked out with the chain and I
walked up to my car and they had step
those days used to remember the street
phrase you'd bang them on the curb get
him rusty put him in a rain barrel get
him rusty and I looked at him but I was
smart then I said first of all I said
when I tell you get off the board you
get off the board I'll kick you out
again but I shouldn't have called you
Esther Wiggins I apologize for that
I apologize but I didn't know that
polish is going to work
he said you apologize to me that's an I
apologize but I'm not for throwing you
out but I apologize to what I said he
said okay close the straight razor my
heart began to beat again I came down
here because I remember the first bumper
sticker I saw
