1. writer. writher. writer. writher. writer of the story. of my stories. Revolutionary Blues. do i even have the blues? Do i? i’m grateful. i’ve combed out all the pain. i’ve groomed out all the pain. all that’s left is that dirty dirty clean truth.
2. the center we all proclaim to be left of and hate those who exist as right of.
3. a coalesce.
4. a Woman King. i relish in equal parts power; equal parts pussy.
5. a mouthpiece for the past. i have been both el hajj malik el shabazz and the Audubon Ballroom he was shot in.
6. both the socialite and the solitaire. the exacerbated flat and the calibration lack. do i ever stop my self study?
