What will happen to change?
Will change change as all things?
Or will it develop immunity
...

I have always known
That you are interested in me
And I would fall in love with you
That we would be together in this place at this time
...

Look up to the sky
take a look at the boldness of the sun
behold the brightness of the stars
they hold no grudges
...

In the dark
Beyond the reach of light
When the day is clothed in black cover
And color, height and size exit the stage
...

We speak too much of so little
Like we truly know that much of so much
Yet there’s so much
We know so little about
...

This is not a suicide note
yet not melancholic fate
I do not die
even so I look and lie
...

NOT A SUICIDE NOTE
This is not a suicide note
Yet not a melancholic fate
I do not die
...

Until the philosophy
That holds one up
And the other down
Is finally discredited
...

From Wisconsin the American walked the streets of Lagos
To black Africa welcome, to the pearly continent
Cradle of creation, primordial of civilizations
To the thickest jungles, haven of gigantic elephants
...

I arrived earlier in time
To witness the great work of creation
When from the dust emerged the first man
I saw the destruction of the Noah’s world
