I am wise and old

I wonder what has become of the outside world

I hear babies crying

I see children frolicking in the grass

I am aged and knowing

I pretend I live in the outside world

I feel strong emotions

I touch the softness of rose petals

I worry about generations to come who will not feel true feelings

I cry about the sorrows of the world before communities

I am wise and old

I understand that the present government is oppressive

I say the worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared

I dream that one day we can return to the world before communities

I try to contain the memories of the past

I hope one day we can live as before

I am wise and old

The Meal: Collard Greens, Mac n Cheese, Cornbread

       I suppose it would be biased of me to rate this meal out of all the food I ate this weekend but this is my favorite meal and I was really excited that my dad made it for me on Friday. My dad makes his collard greens with sofritos, smoked turkey, and chipotles in adobo sauce. My dad made a huge pot of collard greens that takes up half the fridge before he left for Denver, Colorado for the weekend. He also made baked mac n cheese and cornbread. even though it was reheated it tasted warm and inviting and spicy while them mac and cheese had  more the one cheese and was a nice contrast and cornbread was soft and warm and semi-sweet. I got a whole bowl of collard greens and half a plate of mac n cheese and a cornbread muffin. This meal, to me, is significant because it represents warm Christmas and Thanksgiving nights with my family and the occasional treat when my dad wats to make some soul food for the family. One food related issue that has been very prominent lately is the fact that healthy foods are often too expensive or too far from low-income neighborhoods to have access to.

The Doctor: The Lonely Assassins, that's what they used to be called. No one quite knows where they came from, but they're as old as the Universe, or very nearly. And they have survived this long because they have the most perfect defense system ever evolved. They are Quantum Locked. They don't exist when they are being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice, it's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing, they literally turn into stone. And you can't kill a stone. Of course, a stone can't kill you either, but then you turn your head away. Then you blink. Then, oh yes, it can.
