In her head is warAll the time just warI put her to bedI bring peace to the world

I have no clue if it's true and I don't much want to look, but I bet a war happens inside the cocoon.

Can't be on the front lines fighting a war with the weapons given to you by the enemy.

I'm silent when there is a war inside me. There's a need to keep the people outside intact.

I don't know any homophobic people. That suggests fear.The people I know who hate gay folks are:illiterate, nescient, uneducated, uninstructed, unlearned, unschooled, untaught, backward, benighted, primitive, unenlightened, blockheaded, dense, doltish, hebetudinous, obtuse, stupid, thickheaded, thick-wittedBut not homophobic.

You should be so lucky to be like me. I allow myself to be disturbed too often. I'll probably end up talking to birds in a park. But you'll probably end up with regrets.

Autumn. The grace in letting dead things fall.

the black man today will only find solitude in one place: prison. ironically, he becomes most free while incarcerated.

The thing about dignity: it can be destroyed, but not taken unless it's given away. It can always be beautified.

there are no houses to wife. only window seats to occupy when the weather needs changing & waters to flow past our ankles on Sundays as we fish.

I love you because Five floor walk up1 to the 2 to the EThree avenues
