Afro Surreal Generation (Poem The First)

Afro-Surreal Generation
Today,
The energy went to building Tupac and Biggie Smalls
Pez dispensers,
Sun Ra and Henry Dumas facing each other
on a palette of twilight,
Derby hats, burkas and
masks.
And remember its thronged
seduction.
The pressing of face and corpuscular beat. The rush
to connect to
those eyes,
that coat,
those sandals,
tattooed knuckles.
Wonder how much done for
love
How much done for
lack of.
