art is liberation
the inner resources
of the people
that cannot simply be reduced
to resistance
this cultural energy
is also power
but it is a power
not meant to dominate
nor resist but creatively
for a people
to become themselves

how we “re” build
our own house
I have spent enough time
taking down the master’s house
and now i want
most of my energy
to go into visioning and
building our new house
