I Sing Africa
All's not about Darfur
I've seen it, eerie winds
Moonlight through our thatch

We kissed round, one *palmie gourd
Kigali was but a miss
Waist-beads - beats to love

Have you heard the talk-drum,
*Fela's horns of brass,
Or the *Aladuras' joy of Alleluia?

My grandmother still walks miles
Just because her forbears did,
And shame...

This Cruise Is Over
the only tree for a thousand miles 
gave him welcome if temporary shade
a kaleidoscope of mockingbirds filling its branches
it was no longer possible to be blind
but very possible to be jailed
for being unaware of our surroundings
being that we are panphibians capable of TV
where apathy and...

Premium Member Your Immune System
Maybe you don't think about me,
but I will fight for you silently
with complexity, as long as we live.
Though you seem to underestimate me,
I am a necessity.
Like an instituted patient,
you medicate my zest
and inject me with poison's prick.
Why must you suppress me?
I will do what I...

Premium Member Listening For Firestorms
Always respect this combination of fire and wind,
she tentatively said,
after having listened for healthy and pathological winds
regenerating and degenerating,
investing in and divesting of,
yeasty flames of fertile dopamine.

They, like you,
co-arise of and from the landscapes
in which we have been raised,
co-dependent on therapeutically fueled,
fed,
nurtured information
available up to...
