Poetry Superhighway April 2023 Poems

Jew Fro

Jew Fro Bro from Berkeley PSH

Back in the day
Way back
In the 70s
In Berkeley

I had a lot of hair
I wore it
In what called
A “jew Fro”

As many jews
Had kinky hair
Almost like
Our black brothers

The “jew fro”
Is sadly
No longer
On my head

Which I now know
Is part Jewish
Perhaps that is why
I had a “jew fro”
