yeah it is pretty weird to think about, like that conversation we had in class about death, it was just such a difficult thing to think about, especially because it honestly doesnt hit you until you’re older

it reminds me of the sermon we heard on sunday, america being a melting pot vs america being a salad bowl. it’s interesting to pose that question to the reader. would you walk through the door knowing what could lie on the other side of it? i watched a documentary in school over the past week about cuban refugees who took rafts to the united states for a “better life.” five years later, some of them were successful, but some were also selling drugs to get by. its just interesting to think about what you would do if you were in that situation.

hahaha dev, what could the mothers and fathers be doing while their children are away? come onnn!! use your imagination a little lol

aside from that, i like the adam and eve connection because they definitely were “thrown from the nest.” They left the the safety of the Garden of Eden and had to deal with their exile/loss of innocence.

yeah, yeah, yeah. right, right, right. and the weisel quote is one of the most important lessons humanity needs…

try looking at this poem as a comment on language: how do you describe–name–a girl burning? how do you conceive of it? there’s tension between some sense of knowing and the language that verifies, articulates, substantiates…that knowing. that’s poetry.

thanks for being you, by the way, and giving us hope in your generation for saving what ours has screwed up…

it makes me wonder if this is a girl he’s actually seen, how the girl views the same experience. would she be able to write poetry as intense as yusef komunyakaa?
