i have been away from the computer for a few rocking out at the Western Regional Poetry Slam with my team (2nd place, baby!), and this kind of response is a wonderful gift to come back to.

i'm all in slam mode right now, so my already ghostly presence may diminish even more. but please know, photo, black, soul and alla y'all...i am humbled.

thanks a trillion times. now go read another post. quickly.
