I had this exponential context
a story of persuasion
force
vulnerability saved and documented
in one book
two years of writing
focused beyond comparison
shattered standard of comparison
destroyed status quo
every word
every sentence
inviting
demanding
forcing
a new psychology
to continue
to sustain
to evolve
its out of my hands
its in the publishers
“Escape from Liberty”
black women gave birth to American society
not until the white supremacist version of freedom
referred to as “liberty”
is escaped
can the depth of American freedom
be related to or appreciated
understood
a perspective that is valid
means something too the world
means something to me
here tonight
us
I will read some of my poetry
that I have written about keeping integrity
while having interactions with society
after finishing my last book
“Escape from Liberty”
the freedom and adaptability of poetry
conquering a tendency to struggle
with traditions and what I know is right
I know what we have left
and its not what most will tell you
it has improved my life significantly
evolved into a rogue poet
fancy
fresh
fantastic
nothing to lose
nothing to prove
sincerely correct
maniacal vengeance
fascinated
fading
disappearing
into music
unfathomable patterns of movement
inescapable desire
now entering freedom
now entering freedom
repeat
