She spent years
In a file cabinet
Until she was found
Then buried
As directed
Her estate left
To Martin Luther King
Then to the NAACP
They had never heard of her
Surprise
Surprise
Surprise
A woman with passion
Toward your cause
Speaks from the grave
Her royalties
Are yours
She was one of wit
Dorothy Parker
Her gravestone reads
Excuse my dust
