I marvel what kin thou and thy daughters are.
They’ll have me whipped for speaking true, thou'lt
have me whipped for lying, and sometimes I am
whipped for holding my peace. I had rather be any
kind o' thing than a fool

‘I’m crazy about this City.
Daylight slants like a razor cutting the buildings in half. In the top half I see
looking faces and it’s not easy to tell which are people, which the work of
stonemasons. Below is shadow where any blasé thing takes place:
clarinets and lovemaking, fists and the voices of sorrowful women. A city
like this one makes me dream tall and feel in on things. Hep. It’s the bright
steel rocking above the shade below that does it. When I look over strips
of green grass lining the river, at church steeples and into the cream-and-
copper halls of apartment buildings, I’m strong. Alone, yes, but top-notch
and indestructible - like the City in 1926 when all the wars are over and
there will never be another one. The people down there in the shadow are
happy about that. At last, at last, everything’s ahead. The smart ones say so
and people listening to them and reading what they write down agree:
Here comes the new. Look out. There goes the sad stuff. The bad stuff.
The things-nobody-could-help stuff. The way everybody was then and
there. Forget that. History is over, you all, and everything ahead at last.’
@tracyplayle #confabedu
‘A coloured man
floats down out of
the sky blowing a
saxophone, and
below him, in the
space between
two buildings, a
girl talks earnestly
to a man in a
straw hat.’
@tracyplayle #confabedu
'But I can't say that aloud; I can't tell
anyone that I have been waiting for
this all my life and that being chosen
to wait is the reason I can. If I were
able I'd say it. Say make me, remake
me. You are free to do it and I am free
to let you because look, look. Look
where your hands are. Now.'
