Hold the Mayday
A poem from my journal on Friday, September 9th, 2022 adapted to connect the new month’s changes without panic.
Pondered, pandered and explained
Explain what?
Nothing, everything, again
Hotep hard
Still no black card
What’s a me to do
Write
That’s what I do
Write myself in
Write myself out

Write myself forwards
Write myself backwards
Some hope sideways
Never
But never’s a long time
And it’s quite clever
Because it keeps movin’
The right way
Who’s to say
Forward, backward and diagonal-lay
To see your people freely play
Hello May
Hold the Mayday
