ALEKSANDRYA

I've been by the sea
for two days
and now, one month later
I still have
sand in my hair
and
salt on my lips

A Simple Thought

No matter how much I fuss
I can not change the past
or affect the future

the only place where
I can really be
is NOW

how uncomfortable

BEFORE SENDING THEIR LAUNDRY OUT
THE MARINES CHECK THEIR POCKETS
FOR CRICKETS

A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MENINO :

And the Boston Public Health Commission:

" Despite higher rates of screening Black women are
more likely to die from breast cancer than White women.
Pink is not the only color associated with breat cancer "

Now, what am I supposed to do with this piece of information ?
Feel guilty ? Happy ? Safe ? Excluded ?

And what should a Black woman feel
Sad ? Envious ? Threatened ? Humbled ?

We are all women, we are all in danger and colour is the
last thing in our minds when we go for a check up.
And while Viagra is the discovery of the century
not much has been done for breat cancer, in any shade or form.

And, how cheap to use "pink" as an election enticement .

Status Quo

I DO NOT MAKE ANY SENSE

I'VE SPENT HALF OF MY LIFE
TRYINMG TO ESCAPE THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE
AND THE OTHER HALF LOOKING FOR IT

SCRISOARE DE DRAGOSTE

Zilele-acelea largi si inalte
Le-qm traqit fara tine. Plecasem departe

Nu puteam sa-ti raspund, de cit drum ne desparte
In zilele-acelea largi si inalte.

Si mi te-aminteam , si calatoream,
Privind din caleasca albastra , pe geam

Padurea, castelul cu turnuri ciudate
Atit de pustii, de intortocheate.

Iar cind am ajuns si-am oprit se-nserase.
