i just dont think
that u should haveta like sumbody
cuz everyone says they are sum prize winner
fk prizes.
alice won a prize, who cares...
i say, what moves u to cry
spill tears all over pages
whut drops your mouth open at 12 or 15 or 24 even
walker does it for me
zake does it for me
suzan lori sumtimes
baldwin most times
baraka til the cows come come
june jordan has the key to my soul

but how u gonna sit up here & say nikki g
aint ever made u angry at the man,
sonia aint ever made u wanna walk a lil taller

to be honest my gurl is ann petry
to the death
cuz that novel, the street
i can rest easy with that joint all day long

i think morrison is boring
i have never finished one novel yet
& imma reader
for realz

but it just dont grab me from the beg
like a real writer supposed to
ppl say, u gotta get into her, dig deep
move thru
i say fk that
why waste my time being bored for an hour so i can sumhow become enlightened in the end

walker grabs me
from jump street
teaches me
kisses me
curls me
back into myself so i can be a better writer


+

I
wrap
myself
around a
celestial
tree

and from there

I can see

Patterns
of
eternity
that stick with me and
make impact, so that
the struggle

has meaning
