COURAGE

it was around this time last year, that i caught eyes with a Black Queen in "full beat" as she walked down the stairs into the subway system and i was walking up the stairs into Harlem. we didn't speak to each other, but when our eyes met, they said the very same thing. our eyes said "you better work, bitch!".

i thought of her tonight as i left the 10PM showing of "brokeback mountain". i thought of the courage it took for her to live her life "irregardless" of the danger she faced on a daily basis. i also thought of a little boy from San Diego who was determined to live free and use all the colors in the crayon box. i'm proud of that San Diego kid, and i draw strength from that Black Queen in Harlem.
