FANTASTICAL MAGICAL WHITE DINNER PARTY (excludes the fantastical magical black dinner party.) 
 
Parts 2. & 4. 
 
 
2. 
Crosswalk—s are dangerous. Rub—bing up on others' black skin. Cat slinking across my feet. Snak—es in the pit. Snak—es in my play pin. Accost—ing each other, smoother—ing agave, Oh, mother; why did you not teach me of my black skin. Oh, Father; why did you not teach me of my black skin; of crosswalk—s. Of the black female form—ing great waves in the wind. Do not look at what—s skin and lip—s make snake raised pointed tent—s. 
 
 
 
4.
Black stirred. 
 
Black shame. 
Black separated black standard. Black split black smoke. Black seen black sin. Black still seen sleeping. sex.  Black superstition. Black supernatural. Black seen sowing stupidity: Black segregating black skin. Black starvation. Black skepticism. Black salvation sings black. Black salvation sings black. Black staggering; Black staggering. Black silence. Black spoken. Black screams, Black screams, Black screams. Black sweet. Black strides. Black Black: Black skipped.
 
Black secrets. Black sadness. Black submission. Black snakes. Black sulfur. Black symposium. Singing black systems of black on black segregation. Black solely. Black says. Black says. Black says –singing solo, sinking ship spinning silk. Soft sprouting soil. Sunk. Swimming sandcastles. Sobs silently; stop segregating skin seepage. Singularity. Searching somewhere— 
Screaming so spiritually.
Singing solidarity. 
 
Singing solidarity.
