this is not a "dream" post

i can tell that i am still depressed
when i don't have the energy
to write
even though
my last dream was very detail-rich
and interesting

i'm looking at you, Hanif

when you read an
astounding
poet
and all of your subsequent thoughts
are in
lyrical cadence/
it is the inspiration that
centers you

quoting truth

"But I can say right here and now that the absence of a day in honor of the end of slavery in this country is shameful, which to my mind makes it unjust - the opposite of justice." - Ntozake Shange in the essay 'justice', from lost in language & sound. *POW*
