Freedom Interlude
“My momma’s momma taught her daughter to mind her own and drink from the water on the side of the movie theatre she was supposed to, to take care of her hot comb and her pink jam, and to find her a man that would take care of her black heart and love her home cooking.
My momma taught me 2 things. Don’t nobody love you like your momma or your degree do, and stay away from the shore lest those waves snatch you up and drag you down before you get a chance to stretch your fingers out for saving.”
