You conveniently left out most of the poem which is definitely NOT MadeLYN Dunham.

[Dakkster]

Here is the whole poem again from post #64:

‘37 Horizontal Cameos’:

# 21. Madeline

Twice annually
Madeline shopped in Paris and Rome;
Each year
A new WHITE Cadillac CONVERTIBLE
Her new penthouse apartment
Included four originals by Matisse
And had been the birthplace
Of six Broadway hits;
She was available by appointment
Only to select white Gentiles
Well rated in DUN & BRADSTREET
She was hospitalized
For a year at thirty-two
Because of a nervous breakdown
When her maid
Angry at being fired
Called her a floozy.

(’Black Moods - Uncollected and Unpublished Poems: Horizontal Cameos: 37 Portraits’, pg 220)

Here is another poem from the same book that is likely about Ann Dunham:

# 2. Anne

In the gangling hours
Thin, adolescent hours
Before night runs softly
Away into the west
Anne rises wearily
From her tired bed
And sleeps
Sitting in a chair
