I'm only happy when I'm sad, she said.
When people say their glad,
I get mad because,
they used the word glad, she said, we laughed.
The things she said, I guess, 
wouldn't seem important.
If you asked if she knew Shakespeare, she'd say,
when I was born he was already...

The first day of school I had not yet come to grips with what being a senior was. To me, this was just another year and another grade level. One day, when I was on my way to school, it hit me that this was...

Clinton's Inauguration 1993

You were so beautiful, Maya
Standing in front of the
President and the First Lady


I didn’t really understand
Your Pulse Of Morning 
Presidential inauguration poem
I kind of got lost in the dinosaur theme
Poems about Mastodons usually
Don’t instantly inspire Black dreams

But those Harvard and Yale Bullies 
came...

Stories written stories told

Words described to be hold

Ideas transformed onto a page

A fantasy released from there cage

Belief in a plan from beginning to end

Where once myth became legend

A theory was born into tragedy 

Autobiographies and memoirs became history

Was the hypotheses of record enough to quell

Maybe...

Since when did people not care anymore?
Sure, their were some
Unseen or barely there
But now people all over just don't care
How they dress,
How they talk,
What they do
To themselves or to you
Fashion has become a disaster
Modeled by unqualified idiots
Which I can't understand
Because it's not that hard to...

Untitled

We dance across the heavens, like shining stars,
to the never ending beat of our universes heart.
Its song, time – sometimes – becomes dull, grey,
aches of sentiment, in the throes of lofty sentimentality
that becomes red dew, flowering over the cornea, of a rose
releasing its sweet fragrance,...

Grandpa Rabbit sat deeply down into his cozy afternoon chair.
What to read? He had so many selections. Would it be a mystery?
He loved biographies, autobiographies, spy novels and another genre.
So many books from which to choose; he was in heaven thinking of it.

Grandma Rabbit smiled,...

Prospect to rejection in a matter of minutes 
Always in a lifetime people rarely finish a sentence
We hop from line to line, relationship to relationship, family to family, job to job
Without adding the comma’s and periods
The problem in America is we don’t take our relationships...

You went to your universities
rehearsing your autobiographies
and
we are still as different as
chalk and cheese
I suppose you'll know 
a chemical symbol 
for those,
but
I wrote the writing to spend one more night in
her arms,
she left the light on to write me a love song
and
you don't need a degree...

Do you know that everything comes alive?
i am alive
are you?
or else i wouldn't be here to write
i am sitting here wide eyed
my words they come alive 
spreading across empty paper
i can write about animals- they are alive
how about oceans, lakes, and resouviors?
and the people in...

Unsatisfied with this history lesson
turn for the worse
stuck on the skyway again
with recurring dreams
of a shaggy three-headed orchestra
do you remember?
from whose foaming mania
we deciphered regal symphonies
and ghost written autobiographies
while lamenting the inevitable fall
of those sonic philosopher kings
who crawled from the moss laden architecture
of the new...

UFOs, Telepathy, Automatic Writing, 
Astral Travel, Near Death Experiences,
These were the things I read when
I was a child.

When I was a teenager, I learned
That biographies and autobiographies
Are fascinating.  Then I got into mysteries.
They are the chocolate caramel to my 
Reader’s palate.

As a young mother,...

A lot I could say about my bookshelf:
In a way like my half-understood self.
A first-time user should seek my half help
Against a blind book search and its yelp!

Supports the cruel weight of three thousand books:
Fat ones except Camus’ that it brooks,
Golding’s moderate-sized up to ten
And...

Maya
Truthful, enthusiastic, prolific, kind
People will never forget how she made us feel
If you do not like something, she said, change it.
An American poet, singer, poetess
She published seven autobiographies
Pouring her pain out to help others.
Helping us to do the same
Angelou...
