foxmonkey's jazz and spoken word cafe.

[foxmonkey]

Except without the jazz, and without the speaking. ;-) Edited to add: Also, this is not a cafe. Again with the poetry, yes!

This little foxmonkey-underlined snippet is by Nikki Giovanni (1943- ), from the coolest poem ev-ah. Dedicated to someone on my friends list whose brain and soul have been filled to the brim. Take a deep breath. :-)


From 'Ego Tripping'

I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as I went

I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended
except by my permission
