Sir?

At the laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry and a brotha starts talking to me as he is loading his clothes. "God is in control." He says. I agree. "Folks think they in control but only God in control." I agree. Again. "Folks running around here blaming Trump because they want somebody to be mad at. Trump ain't done one thing against Black folks. They gon elect him again too. You watch." I don't watch. I stare at my clothes going round and round. "If anything it was Obama. Yeah he smiled in our faces then he got folks thinking that same sex marriage was ok. You ask me it was Obama." I don't ask. I don't ask. I tilt my head. "What? What?" I leave.
