AStatement about Ma Work

A statement about Ma Work

With the rhythm of my pOeHtrEe,
I paint aloud my inner interpretations
of outer expressions.

The tragic, joyful, amazing, disappointing,
wonderful trials that parade across the human stage,
are images that I illustrate upon my page.

the dollar eighty-nine, scholarly-intended marble covered
composition note book,
a plain black pen from pentel - (The Rolling Writer),
these are the tools
for
when I seek poetic utopia.

however,
most times
my rhymes are scribbled
on napkins bummed from mickey D’s and sidewalk Cafe’s,
with a pencil or old lipstick
burrowed or borrowed
from some sweet soul in the middle of chewing arroz con pollo

Now, I aim to talk Blue.
Knowledge gained from Shakespeare to Langston Hughes.
spoken-word-slingah living a modern Sistah-Gurl’s life,

My sustenance,
its salt,
whether success or strife.
