washington square park 4/19/16

The afternoon of April 19th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of an illuminescent spring day; the flowers have bloomed profusely and the grass was richly green, at least I wish I could say it was because it was like a white sheet was laid on the lawn, and this figurative semblance is to speak towards all the whites that were out catching sun rays the way light-skin niggas catch bodies these days.

reflection on people and self 4/10/16

He’s a model of sorts, but aren’t we all? Not role models, but sculpted models of humans beings; a testament to human life.

His racial ambiguity screamed beauty to me 

I no longer focused on black or white racial tensions, I just focused on him as a person, him as a being, he who is beauty and he who is surreal.

But it upset me inside the way his modeling success was warranted,

Here we have a man who’s not friends with republicans.

From humble beginnings he’s rooted, and the ideals of being humble are carved in his branches (his tattoos).

He’s not rich, but a regular man he is.

They sexualize his racial ambiguity to sell their products to rich people who probably wouldn’t be friends with him in the real world because he isn’t rich.

How funny and intimidating it must be to model for the upper class when you aren’t upper class yourself.

In my faded and her drunken state, I sat on the corner of the bed and she laid askewed. Her fingertips stretched out to my hair, and she lost them in the jungle of my curls. I silently wished it wasn’t my friend who ventured off here, but an older man that was just as curious as losing himself in my hair as I was in his eyes; wondering about the mysteries of men and their somewhat nurturing father ways. I hoped  a man would make my garden an extension of his estate.

Broadway

I ran into you on Broadway one afternoon in August. You rolled your own tobacco and I fell in love with the way your hands moved and the sun highlighted the warm tones of your skin. 

I ran into you on Broadway in March, seven months later. You walked with a sort of rhythmic balance with music blasting through your headphones. I ran out the Chase bank on hoping to catch up to you.

The brief seconds before I tapped you to say hello were the most suspenseful seconds yet. But you turned and smiled, and I caught the sun reflection in that smile, the stars and galaxies expanding for miles. 

So now I walk on Broadway everyday, hoping to run into you again, hoping to be a string of metaphors that you try to piece together in your head. 

Dazzled

"I wanted you dazzled, I wanted you drunk," -Frank Bidart (Star Dust)

I wanted you with the sweet taste of champagne and the bitter taste of beer so that finally I would rid myself of my self-consciousness and wipe away my tears. You'd be too gone to realize you don't truly want me, and I'll be too gone to realize how self-deprecating my desire for you is. 

Peace of Mind

Our brain is our God, and we are the manifestations of our own imagination. 

Everyone is their own God, our worlds colliding with each other. Sometimes these collisions cause brutal catastrophes like war, genocide, and marginalization. 

Other times these collisions lead to greater things like friendship, happiness and love. 

Love Blackness

We are raised to hate each other that's why we hate the color of our skin 

And so I don't take my self and self worth seriously because of my skin 

Love me some black 

Love me so me 

Please oh dear please 

Rid me of self hate and set me free

Humaine à L'eau

There is NO reason why a mammal meant to be large is left looking sickly and malnourished. I implore onto all those out here, please please please conserve our planet. What makes you think that we are safe from experiencing nature's turn on fortune. 

We are the perpetrators of all that goes wrong in the world. We all share one home in this vast universe, yet we aimlessly and carelessly dispose of waste, use water and emit carbon fuels into the world. 

Protect our animals as you would protect yourself. Everything in this world, while it may seem large to us is small compared to everything outside of it, exists for a reason! 

Those of lesser developed countries will experience the harm of global warming first, and their land, culture, and people will be washed away if we continue the way we are. 

People are greedy. Modern man capitalizes the "weaker" and lets them fend for themselves when nature comes for them despite it not being their fault. The primitives are left to suffer and eventually we all will. Fight for the just cause. 

Humaine a l'eau. Petit modernisé, pourquoi tu me parles mal, je respect le Pygmées, donc respecte le Massaïs (@stromae)

It would be awesome if polar bears would evolve into being part aquatic, praying the universe makes it as such, there is no reason an animal should go extinct because of the modern man's greed. 

Merci por ton attention🙏🏽
