520    In Poem for Black Boys, she writes: "Where are your heroes,
       my little Black ones / You are the Indian you so 
       disdainfully shoot / Not the big bad sheriff on his 
       faggoty white horse / You should play run-away-slave or 
       Mau-Mau / These are more in line with your history." By 
       the author of Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day.
