HETTY: THE PROFESSORIAL FOX
(On the Octogenarian Occasion of her Eightieth Birthday – September 13, 2017)
By
George Edward Tait
Forty years ago she told me
“Afrika is in your foot.”
This lady from Lyman Place –
Her brain bursting through Bronx banalities and bureaucracies;
Her consciousness confronting corporate catatonia and coma-toxicity
Her spirit spiraling from steps of Shepp-skins to solar-posiums
This lady from Lyman Place – A neo-presearcher Nubian precursor
Generational genius and gateway guru of her Neo-Presearch Energy Institute
Charged with chartered charm for chaperoned children – Happy Birthday!
