move over

is the spell finally broken? are blacks shaking off the dust that makes them more likely to blend in with the terrorists than be considered for high power jobs? i know that racism is considered to be abolished, and i know it will be for my kids. but recently i've seen the the color of the thumb that's clogging the entry way for all minorities. and now, through the footsteps of obama and other black leaders, i think we're finally crawling out from the drain.

grad school? maybe?

i can't believe i'm still in school. actually i can. but why can't i be done already? *sigh... next up, boston u. cross yo' fingers

from the window

I saw two fences flush against each other. A rusted wire, red with age and blue from a time when it was new. And a jagged edged wood, picket and proud as they come.

Life is a texture. Every day I touch it I feel something different.

Twisted

When trees are hit by lightning they are never struck straight down from top to bottom. Rather the lightning wraps itself in a coil around the tree, cutting long rivets right through the bark all up and down its trunk. The tree is stripped bare. If the tree survives, it continues to grow upwards into its lightning made spiral; it’s trunk, frozen in a warped suspension for the rest of its life. Honestly, it looks as if a God-like hand wrung the thing out and stuck it back into the earth to finish its life. Imagine, a whole forest of these warped and twisted trees. What a sight that would be.
