Take the Train

 The trembling rumble of the train and

Soft hiss of the air flow

Remind me that movement is constant and good

 Taking us somewhere new, some destination with experiences to come which could not have been before boarding.

To remain stagnant is to not change, not progress, not evolve.

We must rumble forth, take the next step, and

Choose which stop is best

 When the meat of the heart 

Wants the meat of some heart

More than once

It grows

And wants

What it wants

 We ride the wave and flow


I am in control

of my

soul

Source

Spirit

Reaching for divine guidance

One with the Great Spirit


We ride the wave and flow

Please, please, please let Langston Hughes’s words written in 1936 ring true in the 2020s

“O, let America be America again— / The land that never has been yet— / And yet must be—the land where every [hu]man is free.”

The Male Gaze

 I can feel your eyes on me. They're burning me. You're imagining what I look like with no clothes on. You don't know me.

Your eyes just won't look away. I'm just trying to ride the subway. Please look away.

I feel your desire

I wish I didn't,

I wish you wouldn't.

Just

Leave

Me

Alone

I wish I could say it with my eyes, but if I look in 

your direction you'll think I want it

You will think that I like you objectifying me. Looking at me but not really seeing me. You see my skin, you see my shape, you see my looks 

But you don't see 

Me.

Watching my thoughts fly by
Like common swifts flitting about in the sky
