I think if I posted this rumination on posters and fliers around my pro-sandinista hometown, I would get lynched. XD Anglo lit has become brittle, like Czechoslovak government ministries in 1989. (I see you're also into Czech stuff) I think the only way I would escape my hometown is to keep a spare copy and flash it in people's faces, then make my getaway while the words stun them like a taser. Hell, that would be a helluva story!

Good work. Real good. I advise you, though, one thing. Don't use "deconstruct." White angel speaking here. I am righting too, you know. This race thing is so puzzling. You have worked it out nicely enough. There is a whole generation of black persons who are doing this. I meet them in the street, on the Internet. I have seen a few, now. This is happening. I am in some ways pretty darn similar to you. Not totally, I know that. I am hoping to be recognized on Substack. But just how in hell is that supposed to happen? Oh well Just like dat --- I s'ppose . . . (But if I am to use 'alternative' spellings sometimes I need to be a perfect scrupulous proofreader. It seems necessary. Like it's part of the job.)
