::storyboards::

I just got off the phone with a dear friend from New York, chewing the fat that is our lives... work, art, love, bullshit, more bullshit... It's a bittersweet feeling leaving the Bay... but honestly, I'm out. There's just too much history here. Good. Bad. Really good, terribly bad. I'm ready. I love myself too much to stay in a place that treats me like it's commonplace lover. So, here's the plan... I am moving to New York, to Fort Greene. I am going to travel a bit between now and then, going to reconnect with loving people. I'll be working on my portfolio feverishly, storyboards will be my new lovers... I cannot wait, I am ready.

I'm a simple thang I am... I like to sit in the sunshine and give smiles as gifts. I kiss babies and laugh in excess, it bubbles outta me-frequent comparisons to Bart Simpson. I like purple flowers and wave at friends who I see from across the street, but I keep it movin'. I believe in the power of the perfect sun dress to make one feel like Aphrodite gliding across traffic at high noon. I drink herbal hydrators in the sun and my melanin is never mutinous save for a few weeks in the winter... I got kissed today by some sliced pineapple and watermelon, a lip-lock that's lasted all afternoon. I'm fixated with my own capacity to love, especially when I sit with Angelique and my heart is full. We love hard, talk loose about socks, trousers, shoes we can't afford but buy anyway... we laugh. We barter compliments with women with nice handbags. We Shine, we are our own personal breezes. We grimace at mean panhandlers, I shake my head, and I'm bubblin' that giggle how I do so. I think of how I think of hijacking shopping carts a lot recently... pushing my favorite people around and my least favorite folks down hills... just enough for goose bumps, but not to hurt em. Then I realize I've floated away, but I'm right here... I exist in this Monday...I'll be here til roundabout midnight.

Pandora and all her freakin' charms
