Reacquainted & Resituated
Hello Notes… How are you? So, do you write more when events are high or low? Feels as if I express more when I’m troubled and less when filled with glee. I know, I’m not exactly a ‘gleeful’ person but I try. I try to use punctuation better now that people are noticing what I’m…

Bring me the Nigger
It’s no secret that educated Caucasians know more about black people then we know about ourselves, which is why there are years and guilt in their eyes. Normally I am neutral on the word, when used by “POC”. Normally I don’t hear it when someone foolish says it. Over the last year’s I’ve changed a…

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…
