Late at night

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)



Late at night, out of sight.
We had a party,
We boogied, body to body.
When I shouted get down,
we were weaving around.
Yes sir!
You were dancing close to me,
Down we went, you and I,
you kiss me, I laughed and said I must take a pee.

Look and see
Look and see, not at me.
What your name, ya want to play a game,
“no! I do the same

Dr. T. Pinnock

Dr. Pinnock first wrote poetry in the institution he resided in inside a classroom at 8 years old. The typewriter was old and manual with a keyguard. A keyguard is a device with an opening for each key to prevent a person lacking fine motor skills from accidentally hitting a key. Dr. Pinnock was granted permission to use the class alone. He labored there typing for hours ignoring his cerebral palsy. Dr. Pinnock grew up with his family until August of 1970. Poverty forced his parents to make him a ward of the State of Connecticut. more…
