The Bridge Poem

I read a piece of this poem in a book about racism a while ago and it comes to mind when I feel like fucking shit up. When I'm sick of feeling like a fucking diplomat to everything and everyone. 

THE BRIDGE POEM

By Donna Kate Rushin

I've had enough 
I'm sick of seeing and touching 
Both sides of things 
Sick of being the damn bridge for everybody

Nobody 
Can talk to anybody 
Without me Right?

I explain my mother to my father my father to my little sister 
My little sister to my brother my brother to the white feminists 
The white feminists to the Black church folks the Black church folks 
To the Ex-hippies the ex-hippies to the Black separatists the 
Black separatists to the artists the artists to my friends' parents...

Then 
I've got the explain myself 
To everybody

I do more translating 
Than the Gawdamn U.N.

Forget it 
I'm sick of it

I'm sick of filling in your gaps

Sick of being your insurance against 
The isolation of your self-imposed limitations 
Sick of being the crazy at your holiday dinners 
Sick of being the odd one at your Sunday Brunches 
Sick of being the sole Black friend to 34 individual white people

Find another connection to the rest of the world 
Find something else to make you legitimate 
Find some other way to be political and hip

I will not be the bridge to your womanhood 
Your manhood 
Your human-ness

I'm sick of reminding you not to 
Close off too tight for too long

I'm sick of mediating with your worst self 
On behalf you your better selves

I am sick 
Of having to remind you 
To breathe 
Before you suffocate 
Your own fool self

Forget it 
Stretch or drown 
Evolve or die

The bridge I must be 
Is the bridge to my own power 
I must translate 
My own fears 
Mediate 
My own weaknesses

I must be the bridge to nowhere 
But my true self 
And then 
I will be useful

The best scene from The Boat That Rocked

Miss the man

I truly miss Lou Reed, to the extent that it's almost awkward. I don't know why, because I haven't listened to him that much. More so Velvet Underground. I've always had big platonic relationships with musicians and actors. An intense love of their work or the way I percieved them could overtake my sense of being for a while. Escapism of some sorts or an chemical imbalance or whatever you feel like calling it.
 

I love this woman's work

Except scenery rearrangements

Ramla utanför ramarna

Future cultures

You are willing and able which makes you capable of doing what ever you want.

Try to say this fast!

"Live a little in Lidl in Little Italy!"

Stay curious

"To live a life in fear of changing
Is to not live at all"

The song of the year

Cat Power is back!

As good as she always is! New album Sun is out in a couple of weeks.

SCUM

The other day two friends and I saw a theatre play based on Valerie Solanas' book The S.C.U.M. Manifesto. I read this book years ago and one quote really got to me. It may sound far fetched but it's something to strive for and it gives one a reason to get up in the morning.

"There’s no reason why a society consisting of rational beings capable of empathizing with each other, complete and having no natural reason to compete, should have a government, laws or leaders."

Sleep less

Generation terrorists

"Som en kravall runt en massgrav klädd i glitter, leopardskinn och sammet. Kreativitet och destruktivitet i oupplöslig förening."

- Erol

Take this job and shove it

Rain songs

It's been raining non stop for three days now so an idea came to mind. To find songs about rain. Enjoy & endure!

Raketen har väldigt mycket aning

Det här är bland det vackraste, sorgligaste jag någonsin har hört. Trots att jag älskar musik, är det sällan jag hör något som verkligen får mig att gråta, men det här är helt magiskt.


Raketen kommer släppa ett album nån gång framöver, men på deras myspace kan man höra ett par fina låtar.

Just tell my what I want to hear and everything will be alright for a second.
