Um, I am Ta Nehisi Coates.
00:07:32
00:07:34
That's alright, everybody do it.
00:07:35
00:07:36
Um, and I'm from Baltimore.
00:07:38
Um, but I came down here, I guess, with the DCP, because that's where I go to school.
00:07:39
00:07:42
I'm gonna read a piece entitled, Last Night.
00:07:44
It goes like this.
00:07:48
On this dark of bottomless night, She returns, touching, quiet, making us Silhouette swimmers in an ocean of sheets.
00:07:58
What I have missed is my hand gracing tender up the arc of her back and her whispering music before the tune escapes my lips.
00:07:59
00:08:08
What I have wanted is her so nuclear with wanting that she melts sun and paints the sky plum purple with passion.
00:08:17
And the stroke is so good that I jump crazy at the sudden of my alarm as it screams reality across the mess of a lonely room.
00:08:26
I peep the digital demon whose red eyes wail six o'clock.
00:08:27
00:08:31
And now I know why I hate mornings.
00:08:34
They always leave me holding pillows like lovers.
