I love getting older. I’m hotter, more confident, more intelligent. Ageism is a dirty trap. Don’t get caught in it.

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

this is so on time. this quote found me the other day in an intro of Dialect Poetry by Paul Keens-Douglas.
"There is a warmness and poetry in the West Indian's way of expressing himself that makes the art of story-telling come easy. His every-day use of language is a vivid expression of the colour and gaeity of his life, the quaintness of his actions, and the spontanaiety of his relationships. Poetry is in his tongue and the art of story-telling in his heritage."
