then i will abide by your laws!
when freedom is as real in the alleys,
the dumpsters, and on the streets
as it is in your brick houses,
then i will believe in your freedom.
when all men and women,

are treated with equal dignity
and with respect,

when each of you can look
into the eyes of your neighbor,
and see God…
then i will abide in your humanity!

from your neck downto your inner thighs….finding the beginningof the cosmos… wet,dark, hot, and hungryfor new life ‘neath thetouch of the planters hands…oceans i find, and poundingwaves… forests primeval,and darkness creating light…surging with electric pulse!
lying on the floor,watching roach drawn carriagestake the prince and the princessto the ball!the bruises on her facethrobbing in the dim light;the dull ache of faithdevoured by demons tooreal to shake…her baby’s lips frozen,forever searching!
