Do people exist to be loved? Do objects exist to be used? Do people get used? Are objects loved?
Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.
Then it is all perfect?
As much as possible. *sighs*
Happy New Year! In February we will celebrate the lunar new year - the year of the OX.
'Tis Moi. ^_^

kidnap poem
by Nikki Giovanni
ever been kidnapped
by a poet
if i were a poet
i'd kidnap you
put you in my phrases and meter

or maybe coney island
or maybe just to my house
lyric you in lilacs
dash you in the rain
blend into the beach
to complement my see
play the lyre for you
ode you with my love song
anything to win you
wrap you in the red Black green
show you off to mama
yeah if i were a poet i'd kid
nap you

Jeff Fort called. He said you misspelled El Rukns. It's not easy getting a message outta Florence supermax, ya know.
Right on! El Rukn. But now that’s practically gone too. BPSN over there - if not GD. Who you with? I know more 4CH because I’m usually more west.

I'm ancient, bruh. My family blew the whole scene in the 60's when the heat got drastic and we spent 40+ years in Latin America. We were from Detroit before we split but I had to comment because my dad had friends from Chicago stay at our house when we lived in Mexico City and I remember this one guy had a signed copy of a book of poems by Langston Hughes that he forgot at our house when he split. He said he was from Woodlawn in South Chi. Dude taught me how to play chess and how to study history: gave me the autobiography of Malcolm X to read when I was 11 years old. Got me interested in languages and politics. But the most awesome thing was he would talk for hours all about the difficulties of the black people of different Chicago neighborhoods and groups such as El Rukn with the same sympathy and solidarity he used when discussing the horrors endured by people in Vietnam, or Palestine, or the plight of poor or indigenous peoples anywhere. He made me see what an internationalist was. He turned me on to Woody Guthrie. It was the 60's, I was a kid, and the guy was solid adult backup telling the truth in a freaked-out world. Never forget him.
Appreciate that! What a huge and important story. Tell more!
Mother to Son by Langston Hughes still gives me the chills everytime.
I picked up the book: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. Caste means a lot more than race. This is an old house, a house we did not build, and it needs to be fixed.
-your not alone. we are all ancient here.

Respect and thanx. Reading Amiri Baraka and Yusef Komunyakaa for poetry past 5-6 days. If poetry is escapism, I need more of it. Peace always.
summer breeze makes me feel fine:
