Erykah Badu

she is my latest inspiration
unlike Frida she's got two kids to reckon with and work into her game
something i can relate to
it is a long labor, this birth of Me
i feel constipated with this birth of Me
as if some mental block will not let it come forth
if only i had a due date
to meet
i work so well under pressure
i play it out in my mind
walking around with the visions of Me
Whole
sick feeling fragmented
Build myself an altar of women
muses
idols, pin-ups and heroines
Escape the rules
recline on a fuschia velvet chaise
with a pile of books stacked around me
lets just leave it at that
for Now
