saw saul williams last night. it was amazing, we were on stage with him, meager feet away. he moved and glisened under hot purple red stagelights. we moved in unison to the beats of some primal noise from inside. it was too much nearly, almost too much.
at the show, we crawled on stage and touched palms and thought profound thoughs. or maybe i did solitarily. a million (alright, maybe fifty-two) lost identities paused for one moment and breathing in (breathe in).
i guess i'm just reminding you to breathe in.
