harmony park in the night
For years, frightened white seers were saying we had to get out of the cities and back to the land. I understand the logic, I do.
We have to go to the places where they are afraid. Our own neighborhoods where the music is too loud, where smoke rises up on the corners from meat and vegetables cooking on open flames. It scares them, how we live. Laughing and sweating out in the open together.
For years, frightened white seers were saying we had to get out of the cities and back to the land. I understand the logic, I do. I'm conditioned with that thinking too, that there's some idyllic place for me upstate, but that's not true for me. This is where life is, where the music is, where I feel my own heart beating aligned with others. Certainly it can be too much, like why the fuck is there music blasting at 5 in the morning on a Sunday? Who is that?
