Ă propos de ce livre
CHORUS is the anthem of a new generation of poets unified by the desire to transcend the identity politics of the day and begin to be seen as one. One hundred voices woven through testimony and new testament. It is the cry of the unheard. The occupation of the page itself. It embodies the "speak-up" spirit of the moment, the confidence propagated through hip-hop, and the defiant "WTF?" of the now. It is the voice that comes after the rebellious voice that once cried, "I want my MTV!" branded back to where punk was, slammed up and beyond it. A combination of trash, heart, and craft. An anthology in rant. CHORUS is what all modern-day losers chant.

wrapped in
the cleverest thing

2
At the end of your ten-day meditation retreat
you got in your car
drove thirty peaceful feet
and ran over a bird,
splayed its holy guts on the pavement
like god finger-painting fuck you
across that deep breath
you were holding
the way your mother held her first born.
You, thank goodness,
were torn from the bible
the day before they burned it
for the verse about dancing to tambourines.
Once
you saw the blood of Christ on a knife
carving redwood trees into church pews.
Now every Sunday morning
you hear glaciers melting
and you see the feathers in your rearview mirror
scattering like prayers
searching for a safe place to land.
Hold me to my word
when I tell you I will leave today,
catch a bus ticket west
just to stand in the center of your highway
stopping traffic âtil every featherâs answered.
Iâve seen too many prayers
caught in the grills of eighteen-wheelers.
And folks like us, weâve got
shoulder blades that rust in the rain,
but theyâre still G sharp
whenever our spinal chords are tuned
to the key of redemption.
So go ahead world, pick us
to make things better.
You wanna know what the right wing never got?
We never question the existence of god.
What we question is his bulldozer
turning Palestine into a gas chamber.
What we question is the manger in Macyâs
and the sweatshops our children call the North Pole.
What we question is the idea of a heaven
having gates.
Have you never stood on the end of a pier
watching the moon live up to her name?
Have you never looked in the eyes of a thief
and seen his childrenâs hungry bellies?
Some days my heart beats so fast
my ribcage sounds like a fucking railroad track
and my breath is a train I just canât catch.
So when my friends go filling their lungs with yes,
when theyâre peeling off their armor
and falling like snowflakes on your holy tongue, God
collect the feathers.
We are thick skin
covering nothing but wishbones.
Break in. Youâll find
notebooks full of jaw lines
we wrote to religionâs clenched fist.
Yeah, we bruise easy.
But the sound of our bouncing back
is a grand canyon full of choir claps
and our five pointed stars
have always been open to the answer,
whatever it is.
Look me in the bullseye,
in the laws I broke
and the promises I didnât,
in the batteries I found when the lights went out
and the prayers I found when the brakes did too.
Iâve got this moment
and no idea when it will end,
but every second of...
