#nationalpoetrymonth Day 9: ROSETTA by Kevin Young Alphabet of night. The grammar of grief gets written each day & lost- learnt again by stone, by small sliver, hieroglyph. Morning stays dark too long. The light takes its own sweet time to arrive. You, gone into the afterlife of hollow hands, faded photographs. Night's black letters that require a song to remember. #kevinyoung #unabridgednpm (at Unabridged Bookstore)

I am tired of my Own mind. Its wanderlust And lust, lust, its mis- Trust of the blind Suck of sea — With you all Is undertow. With me the tide Is never enough — I become Beached, splayed Sandbound, dreaming water. #vsco #vscocam #vscogram #vscogrid #vscoph #vscophile #poemsporn #word porn #DearDarkness #kevinyoung #mind #sea #lust #lightroom (at Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya)

Cher: Tea Party thinks ‘blacks, Latinos shouldn’t vote, eat, LIVE’

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/cher-tea-party-thinks-blacks-latinos-shouldnt-vote-eat-live/

Cher: Tea Party thinks ‘blacks, Latinos shouldn’t vote, eat, LIVE’

http://twitter.com/#!/1biggestcherfan/status/469649066419580928

It’s been a while since Cher has tweeted about the Tea Party, whom she generally calls T-baggers and, occasionally, T-hadists. Tonight it’s just the #TParty, but that doesn’t mean the singer is easing up on small-government conservatives.

No, the Tea Party doesn’t want inner-city kids even to eat in the summer; lunch is for rural kids only, like it was in the good old days. Or something.

#TParty Gov Doesn't want Inner CITY Kids 2 eat in summer😱 lunch 4 Rural kids ONLY.WHY Pretend #Tparty Blks,Latinos Shouldn't Vote,Eat LIVE😡— Cher (@cher) May 23, 2014

Campbell's Black Bean Soup by Kevin Young

Candid, Warhol scoffed, coined it a nigger’s loft—

not The Factory, Basquiat’s studio stood anything but lofty—

skid rows of canvases, paint peeling like bananas, scabs. Bartering work

for horse, Basquiat churned out butter, signing each SAMO ©. Sameold. Sambo’s

soup. How to sell out something bankrupt already? How to copy

rights? Basquiat stripped labels, opened & ate alphabets, chicken

& noodle. Not even brown broth left beneath, not one black bean, he smacked

the very bottom, scraping the uncanny, making a tin thing sing.
