The Loop ~ Spoken Word

We have stoops on streets and corners so what lands can be heard from the cracks on steps

~~~
Tides flow empty and drums beat they beat I am beat

~~~
And Miss Henderson waves good-bye to her son from the sun
And Sarah’s mom’s funeral was sad
Because fuck cancer

~~~
Life can’t be written away by historians or philosophers

~~~
Tucked away trauma

~~~
Resurfacing

~~~
Triggers

~~~
Nixon Malcolm Kennedy and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.

~~~

Under the earth where trauma goes to die

~~~
Can you remember where you were when the twin towers fell

~~~
A millisecond can’t alter it to any degree of logic

~~~
What lives must die

~~~

Gravity

~~~
And memory will remind me

~~~
That alterations are tragic misconceptions
Of the truth

~~~
And nothing is more traumatic

~~~
Than the truth

~~~

And time sets again

~~~

The Loop
