There are many distinctions to be made between MARTA (Atlanta’s public transportation system) and the MTA (New York City’s public transportation system). Surely Atlanta’s won’t be as efficient as they’re not even half as old as MTA. One of the most obvious distinctions for me is the people. Generally, certain types of people ride the [...]

Toda persona, incluyendo extranjeros, tienen ciertos derechos básicos que deben ser respetados por agentes de inmigración (ICE). Estas leyes vienen de la constitución y de las leyes de los Estados Unidos. Como extranjero, no ciudadano de Estados Unidos, tú tienes los [...]
She sits in my bedroom at my house in Atlanta. We lay together, my arms are wrapped around her and we laugh and she cries at the same time. She has never been here before. Since 2000 Georgia has been my home. She called me on Thursday, “I’m pregnant,” she said. “Six months,” and I [...]

Cuando lo veo, regreso a su cuarto adonde la pasión se canta. Se canta de los manos y el calor. Todo el dia yo pienso en el y no se, no se porque, ya no se nada. Y el minuto que no lo pienso—BAM! Lo veo. “Se que to no quieres pero a ti [...]

One day I will write in detail about what it was like growing up in Drew Hamilton Projects in Harlem, N.Y. It was an experience I would not have traded with any other kid in the world and I learned more about life and the cultural experience of humans in my old neighborhood than I [...]

I went all the way to East Atlanta to the only Copy Center I’d paid enough attention to know directions to. They gave me a $5 check. It was too little for me to cash. I figured I’d end up paying $1.29 for them to cash it anyways, so I got it laminated. A tiny [...]

Some of these pop songs are perfect. Right now: Want you by Lloyd feat. Lil’ Wayne! I’ve been a big debunker of southern rap (generally). But there’s somethin’ about Lil’ Wayne. Mostly the song just rocks and has great melody–I’m gonna play it until I can’t stand it anymore. Next, there’s Kelis’ “Bossy.” Kelis is [...]

Where the folds meet your lips should too. They kissed the folds once and have since left behind a residue that cannot be erased. From a distance you appear and in an instant, and all at once, I disappear back into that fold with the incorrigible stain. Living in that stain, recalling with what impetus [...]
