Fonk Wit It<\/p>\n
This\u2026 THIS\u2026
\nis the proverbial ‘It’
\nAnother show has begun
\nAnd all the voodoo children
\nsweat hard in the field and on the block
\njust for this night
\nThe night before you gotta hide them pretty shells and beads
\nand and play “citizen” in their churches
\nto keep up community and face
\nAw but your pretty faces under Luna and her fabulous fullness is what we really live for
\nEverybody is another spinning, hot, luminous Sun at a distance
\nIn this ritual, no shade, all spotlight
\nThis be on “the one”
\nThat kickdrum chakra starter
\nSwing and sway, jump and gyrate pheromone generator
\nThis that first and last vibe deposit
\nThis is the boom-clack, the rest in between and the work to play\u2026
\n\u2026Hard.
\nThis is wider than the arms who drop from the air long enough to embrace it
\nSo high, you can’t afford NOT to fly this fly
\nAnd deep. Deeper than\u2026
\n\u2026Blue
\nThis fonk- I spelled what I said- shimmys and thumps and wails
\nThis ritual is communal and designed to
\nget you [unless yer into that kinda\u2026]
\n\u2026Unbound
\nForget about days ending in “y”
\nand that you owe anyone
\nanything more than the next sunrise
\nJust to jam
\nJust to get that bootay shook
\nEven if you have to put your own hands
\nIn your back pockets to do it
\nNow, if you please, step outside
\nAs the gathering grows
\nAnd the DJ awaits
\nyour luminous presence <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
