Valentine Evening
Valentine evening
At 17:21:00, you called to say
You would come to my place.
After you left, it took me more than one day,
To process what you have come to say.
You wanted to let me know,
It was time for me to let you go,
You even tried to find me an alternative.
The only reason you gave was
You will

Steppin' Off
Steppin’ Off
My Platform
I
Will
Miss you,
It’s only so long
And not a swan song
I have projects awaiting
They need some attention
An untenable encumbrance
Far too many to mention
So I’ll be takin’ time out
Or bound to get worse
September First
Steppin’ off

The Major Chord
Take from this life whatever it may offer
Opportunities will come you least expect,
Many gifts and talents fate will proffer.
Spend time building a healthy self-respect
Cling to those values that merit reward,
Opportunities will come you least expect.
Melody is important, but so the major chord
In your life events try to find synchronicity,
Cling to those values that merit reward.
Challenges

Healing Projects
I had two big projects
from 1970 to 1975,
The first,
to earn a usually white Bachelor dual-major degree
(which sounds at least sexist
as a usually black, brown, red, yellow Mistress nondegree)
of deep learning about yin/yang,
right/left,
east/west interconnections
cultural communions
between persuasive Speech [and non-verbal] Communication
and attitude changing Psychology.
My second project,
like the first,
was about coming out of my investigating ***** closet;
how to

Before 21
I put on makeup so I can feel beautiful
Put up curtains so I can feel at home
Got a baby that's half a family
20 years old looking 15
In the middle of the ghetto and gentrificA-town
By the Projectz and the precinct
I've got a closet full of donated clothes
I ask God why this is the life

Project the Projects
Furthermore,
The pink houses, the red brick buildings,
the dingy gray towers,
tear them down
stone by stone,
brick by brick
Open up the sky
give them hope
give them peace
Take away the filth and negativity
and hate
and self hatred
Plant trees
Break up the cement
let flowers bloom
Give the children hope
Let the children sing
Give them a place to run free
Rejoice!
Take away the poison
Breathe life into the

Certain Projects and I
To stay the course of penned projects
Some long, some short, on sheets of white
Solitude, my thoughts and I abide
But this course we love, sometimes fade
I need jist of that potent thing
The very thing I miss, each time
My muse, my thoughts and me resist
Staying course with certain projects.

Life In the 'Projects'
like sparrows on the streets and in caves
consider how they swoop and dive
and fatten on dusty pizza crumbs
consider the raccoons how they squawk and squalor
peck and fight for space to grow fat gray hairs
and live as a family in the wild consider them
consider the homeless man on East Euclid dragging
Giant-Eagle cart on

Projects and Credits
I am born in this world, but I know not why;
Yet is a plan of mystery, a project in the mind of God.
He is holy and I ought to be holy,
I am His property, and He's my Eternal Designer,
He hath made me in His Image, and I ought to reflect His,
He hath made the world
