the polaroid images fell from between the pages of my book on plant etymology. between cocoa beans and callalillies. i fell. my face was young(er). eyes. passionate. determined. your name. my heart. all there. in the palm of my hand.
origami workshops and indian princesses. sinus headaches and side splitting laughter. notorious b.i.g.'s ONE MORE CHANCE on repeat in the car and phone calls from the brooklyn baby.
i just finished my unit plan on social activism... not bad.
my thoughts keep drifting back to being someone's art baby... brooklyn... and how my passenger seat is in the same position you left it nearly a month ago. a month. feels like a year.
i really do long for a time when an artist steals the lime light from pop princesses and heiresses. a time when beautiful muses overshadowed the celebrity power-couple.
i want a revolution. i want paint splatters to replace bloodshed. i want cigarette butts to replace ammunition shells.
