I feel lost in translation
i know there is always an explanation that
gets me high on frustration
frustration of knowing better and choosing worse...
of wanting to boil down differences into similarities
all the meanwhile holding on to a truth that is more complex than
just single minded attitudes...
to ask questions that don't have answers, yet.
but the fact that they are voiced onto the universe projects
a deeper understanding by knowing there are ways to go about learning
that we have yet to comprehend...
SLINGSHOT HIP HOP
what does it say about the essence of hip hop when images translate concepts and notions without understanding the language in which these are articulated?
what does it mean when baggy attire is still consumed internationally to demarcate hip hop yet the new bone thugs and harmony album cover has them all suited and booted? ooh the good all days...
in trying to attempt to understand the road ahead, I look back at the roots of our desire to challenge and challenge over again to plenitude what we have come to qualify as our truth.
krŏn'ĭk-O's witnesses the trajectories reflected in intersecting front lines and encourages the exchanges and expressions of experiences, inspirations, and practical means of loving and living. Author/Poet/Organizer, L.A. Profe, is a queer Oaxaqueña raised in the Venice Boardwalk. Initated by the streets of L.A. she comes from a long line of sidelined intellectuals, of displaced indigenous farmers, shaped and influenced by matriarchal figures of resistance.

Chasco
I can only begin to feel the solace
modicum of detritus
Enough to understand this disquietude
Why cowboys in blue boorishly shoo off
Like a boon in their eyes
Ascetics from ethereal heavens of spraying
Prophetic
As if their word was a consequence
Contrite all the excellence
But don’t surprise
Yourself
When there is no one next to you
Because toying of hearts
Bills that amount to breaking vows
Chasing a noun
Instead of projecting verbs in the now
To penchant repression
To think of impressions
