for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf by Ntozake Shange

I had chance to see it in 1975. Each one of those women gave a powerful performance. Must have, because it's 30 years later, and I still feel the powerfulness the lady in green saying "Somebody done walked off with alla my stuff".

I was sitting here reading, writing and sipping tea, and my mind drifted to that sentence. It came out of no where, and surprised me as it came shouting into my mind

I guess if I had to write a sentence about blocks of life my life during the last year. The above one would sum it up.

Slowly, though I'm taking back my "stuff" and I'm letting the thief keep only what I don't want/need any more.
