imagine,
            if you will,
that as the first four notes of
       Hits From The ****
   drift into consciousness,
you see ahead,
                      approaching fast,
a beautiful
        upsweep of snow,
a delicate cyclone
     that moves itself
            quickly from
non-existence to
    existence and back.

everyday i wake up
to a life i don’t recognize
and yet, you
continue to ask me
how i am.

i’ve got a case
of the remembers.

women!
we must unify
and acknowledge
that it is WE
who are the creators,
the nurturers,
the peacemakers,
and it is time for
our unique power
to be unleashed on
a world run amuck.
and
we
are

my body
has never felt like
the most important
part of me.

i imagine us,
my friends
my family
in need of asylum
the unthinkable happening to us
and wondering the lengths
we would go to for
each other
and no imaginary government boundary
could keep me from
trying to save my family.
i try to imagine
my niece and nephew getting
separated from my brother and sister
put into an old Wal-Mart with
fluorescent lights and
metal cages
surrounded by strangers
with no comfort or stability
that comes from being with
those who love you enough
to risk everything to
save you.
but my mind will not allow it.
it is too unjust
too disturbing
and I don’t know how to
wake myself from this nightmare.
