LATE AND NEVER

I am always late.

Always late.

Always, always, late.

But late is subjective.

Late

is

subjective.

I may be delayed

but I

am

never

N-E-V-E-R

Don't sleep on the sister.

And while I'm at it: peace to all God's righteous children committed in the struggle to commit serious, serious art: Amel and Laru Larrieux, Goapele, Maxwell, Julie Dexter, Cassendre Xavier, Me'Shell, Marie, Erykah Badu, Sade, the Fertile Ground crew, Jill, Rachelle Ferrell and any other righteous person who knows that

late

and

art

do not belong in the same sentence.

who knows

that late

is

subjective.

We will wait

and

we will rise

and

we will make

this place

holy.



PEACE!
