203319, i went to the african american museum on thursday
Posted by akon, Mon Apr-25-16 01:40 PM
wearing my prince baltimore t-shirt
i'd been feeling some kind of way about the earth still spinning
while prince is not here anymore
that just seems wrong
the lady at the museum let me and my friend get in free
after we spent 30 minutes communing about what he meant to us
and how we first got into his music
and the moments that mattered.
the same thing happened at the restaurant we were at
the chef came out to talk about how he wanted to take days off to go to the memorial
if there was going to be one
that ended up being a beautiful day
finding communal spirits sharing in our mourning

this passing felt so different
when mj passed i was in harlem and we all went to the apollo and cried together
being in baltimore.... ive felt so alone in my grief
the city moves on.... i dont understand

thanks to these posts.
thanks basaglia and whomever else has shared
