    […]

    is a commitment

    […]

    stretches over the land

    […]

    The huge, the pungent object of our prime out-ride

    is to Comprehend,

    to salute and to Love the fact that we are Black,

    which is our “ultimate Reality,”

    which is the lone ground

    from which our meaningful metamorphosis,

    from which our prosperous staccato,

    group or individual, can rise.

    … you should settle quickly
    All your differences with whatever lies
    Around you, forcing yourself to agree
    With rocks and bushes, trees and wild grass,
    Horses, cows, or sheep, even debris
    To find out what you have in common.

    […] perches in the soul,
    And sings the tune without the words

    So you imagine other worlds, […] hatch plots of escape and dereliction–a. A gaining of land by the permanent recession of the water line. b. The land so gained.–(SH)
