A Book by Deneace Green
I got a book. I got a book, m-a-n . . . a book. . . .
Oh, . . . goodness! A book?
A book is like . . . a copper necklace, . . . or copper earrings.
A book is like . . . . ah-brwwww. . . .
A book is like pulses.
After you’ve embodied the pulses, and, . . .
and you feel the energy, . . . like now, I feel so much energy.
Just holding this book, I feel so much—impaled with it—
so much energy, just from holding this book.
A book is like go-o-ld.
A book is like lessons, lessons.
A book is like elevation.
A book is vi-i-bration, . . . vibration.
A book . . . [is to be kissed].
