Things I'd like to maybe start a Kickstarter for:

A big bed of sesame seeds build in a storefront window, whose window is covered in reflective paper, in which I can lay down to rest my wear bones for a bit and napsnack my way back out into the world cocoon style.
Visa fees for every Muslim in the world to come to the US mostly because it would be way more peaceful likely although we'd have to have a conversation about the necessity of bacon.
Someone who is paid CEO-level salary + great bennies just to follow me around (union workday hours is cool) and run my feet and legs and shoulders and hands and back and basically all of my body parts as needed like always.
Honeybee husbandry.
Mandatory, heavily stipended coursework for the entire western world on gaining an understanding of, and the language for, a real conversation on race, class, culture, gender, history, and the end of capital. With cookies and juice.
That orgasm machine from that Woody Allen movie from when he made funny movies before he was a known sexual predator. I don't know that I need to raise funds for mass production. I basically just need one and a backup.
One more orgasm machine to rent-out by the minute because then I'd never have to crowdfund anything ever again.
An American Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Televised live with social media access points ala periscope, twitter, etc.
Basically just more cats.

My mid-meeting lunch companion. “Same, Sis. Same.”

I woke up to find my first poem of the year.

I try to tell y’all that I have the students of LIFE! Well Curtis & I were so pleased to host this falls consistently mind-blowing Intro Poetry Studio group to the crib for our last class dinner. I can never stop telling each one of them what an honor and a gift it was to work with them this fall. “What will we do with all of these merciful gifts?”!

Seen in E.U.

I'm making things on one side of this desk and Lupe is considering all she could make if she could only get to the other side of this window. The longing is everywhere. We share it.
