FAQ: Yall gonna write another book?

March 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment

At Washington Square Park

March 17th, 2010 · No Comments

Five men sat under the stone archway
One dressed in jeans, twice his size. A shirt, twice his size. Gold fronts in his mouth. Gold chain, around his neck.
One dressed in jeans, half his size. A shirt from decades before. Glasses.
One dressed in brown corduroy. All.
One dressed in sweatshirt and dad jeans. Too cool for school, or work, apparently.

March 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment

When I was growing up, every Saturday night I would catch my mother doing a mean step, sliding all over the cheap linoleum kitchen floor. Gettin’ it. The radio was set to 102.3’s “Saturday Flashback Dance Party” and the music, Parliament, James Brown, Al Green, put my mother in some sort of trance. Her mother-hips […]
