On the road again
Sitting outside the JC, looking like a homeless fool with nowhere to go. Watching, waiting for something to happen. I don’t know what I’m waiting for or who but somethings gotta give… Right? That’s all that I own, right there on a dolly. I’m tempted to toss it into the river but I’m being patient;…

The day after
Sitting on the steps of the JC, I watch artist paint on their canvas the area where the elk once stood. It has since been replaced with an new elk, creepier and taller. In the distance, a Caucasian woman, wearing a line green skin suit sings… “Black lives matter”.I don’t know how to feel right…

Kids expressing adult issues with adult language
My response to the picture and video of kids holding “fuck the police” signs. I believe this is a necessary conversation for many reasons.

Because Pi
My heart is heavy today, as it has been for many weeks and years but if I had all I needed, I probably wouldn’t be speaking the way I do now. I am uncertain about the intention of those who claim to stand for my blackness, because “they” don’t know me or the whole of…

The Justice Center
I was moved to write that day and this lovely woman gave thanks as it progressed. I think someone called her Lady Gya. I am uncertain if that if that is her name. I met her a few nights before in my meditation spot with another Portland artist, Chi. I’ve added to this picture later…
