Sometimes the day begins at the end
Where discoveries, surprises open in
Imagination has spent the hours grip
The way things were slipped silently.

Norman Crane
black lives matter so
black lies matter so
dive in deep waters to
die in deep waters to
be seven as the samurai
be seen as the samurai
your mind curved
your mind cured
starve and
stare and
carving your name in history make
caring your name in history make
the world: invert
the world: inert
an ideology to believe
an ideology to belie
