Ready For Battle

                        by Alieux Casey-George
u
occur but once
and having occurred
fall into dust
and occur not again
we
exist in soul
but speak only
of time and space
and the words fly off
to nowhere
look
at us now
the clock races on
time prepares itself for battle
pages turn
heads are bowed.

Watch Sonia's Lips move

Day ONE: 10/1/00
enters Sonia,
shutting the door behind her.
She removes her full red lips
To tell me in confidence:
“I’m so glad they finally hired a
brutha here! You the only nigga that’s been in this building besides the UPS guy!
We gotta have each other’s back.
 If there is anything that you need,
nigga,
please don’t hesitate to let a sista know!”
then she quickly leaves my office
after putting her lips back
where they  remained
from my first day
through to my last;

attached
to
every
white
male
ass
in
the
company.

I will remember

When things get better, 
when my money gets right
 &
 I can exhale again, 
I will remember those who cared enough
 2 
check in on me
 when I felt like
 I 
couldn’t 
afford
 2 breathe--

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
