Today's Work Literary Magazine features my poem.
"When Work Meant Fuck, LA, 1954
In high school in Los Angeles
in 1954, the word spread quickly
that Huggy Boy was going to play
“Work With Me, Annie,” at midnight
even though the song was banned.
The song was banned because “work”
meant fuck, which everybody knew
without anyone actually saying it,
and if you doubted it the sequel
proved you wrong, “Annie had a baby
can’t work no more,” which also
was banned.
Every white teenager at my school
tuned in Huggy Boy that night."
Click link above to continue. And don't miss the song after the poem!
