I be Idlewild—3000 Throwback mountains of
Hip-Hop, Latin Quicksteps, Stepping, instructional dances,
irregular heartbeats. I pulse things.
By daytime I am your protagonist
In twilight hours… your campaigner
I Gemini like that. All linguist diplomat
If there is spare time I anime my day away
Blerds are still in this movement with pen and
black power clenched fists in our dominant hand
and destructo-disc in’ anything in the way with the other
All feeling and intuitive. We born analytical here
I be centerpiece at the table, guiding the collective mind
This nectar ain’t cheap. We don’t pour from the hive freely.
If I am human… I do it free… sacrificing for the people
The whitest thing about me is my last name
The blackest living sea you will meet
A living yin and yang.
