Jackie Robinson was 42, will always be 42. I am reading Citizen for a book discussion at TSCPL tonight and it is influencing me, not just as a documentary poetics book, but also the voice--those prose poems. I want to take my Predeator and Venom project and make it small prose poems instead.
I still think of the McDonald's today--gettting fries at the same store I worked at--seeing they had Pokemon and Hello Kitty, and I heard the female cashier ask the driver behind me if they wanted boy or girl toys in the Happy Meals.
I fought in the 80's. I lost.
