I just fell in love
I'm reading all of this "black" british poetry for class today, when I come across Benjamin Zephaniah's introduction to his collection _TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG_. I was fascinated. Here is a poet concerned more with the state of the world than the state of his fame. Now, most people know that I love to bitch, but am somewhat fatalistic about the state of human beings and their stupid shit. So I was moved and touched and a little amused, almost, though that isn't exactly the right word. So I finish his poetry and I actually feel something, what, I'm not sure, but it was something, which is more than I usually feel after sludging through some required reading. I google him and find his website and this video. TOUCH Then I fell in love.
I was thinking about people and sex and relationships last night, and I declared that I wasn't fucking anyone else until they really wanted me. I might be alone forever in such a case, but perhaps not. It's worth waiting for.
