the spa of untouchability
—where no one touch is needed—
the whiteness just wafts like a balm
a whiteness humidifier
steam room racism
lavender
for miles
patchouli
and mlk inspirational quotes
the spa for a multiculturalist future
where all the white and black children
could speak spanish together in the bilingual school
and frida can be their art teacher
nah she can just mow their lawns
and mlk can be their counselor
and ghandi can be their p.e. teacher
everyone can have yoga mats
and peace in their hearts
we can all build an intellectual community together
with soul mortar
and great ideas
and really it's all about learning from our mistakes
forever. the right to fail forever.
as brother king has taught us
"peace will come into your heart only when you heal from within"
"inner healing is the fruit of tomorrow"
"we are all human beings"
"breathe deeply and feel yourself letting go of racism"
“one Love”
“one People”
“one World”
“benetton wallpaper”
“snowflake circle of life”
where there are no other species... just permanently falling flakes
may we all find sanctity in the realm
in which our inner being becomes one with others
regardless of their color or creed
snow upon us mongrels
bless us with god's confetti
we are the 25%!

From the bottom of my heart: if we never hear from you again for the rest of our lives, we would still have all of your points your wounds memorized: shutting the fuck up is your actionable revolutionary first step.

From the bottom of my heart: WHERE WERE YOU WHILE KENNETH GOLDSMITH FLOURISHED ALL THESE YEARS?
