"I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other." - Harriet Tubman
the world needs poetry now
more than ever
it needs the ability to notice
magic in everyday existence
and to track the inches of progress
the soft, subtle, nearly imperceptible shifts
in the stomach of the world
that suggest that we are headed -- or not
poetry is a vehicle to celebrate the not knowing
to explore liminal spaces before inches are tallied
because this world. it's a game of inches at best, friends.
become a curator / connoisseur of the small, the incremental
read poetry. write poetry. join the party.
