COMMENT | I am the city and the village and the house that I inhabit. I am what I am from the history that shaped me, including a stinky city is stinky and I growing up with those who died gangsta high in the hippie Sixties. Had I been one of them, I would not have lived to tell you this story. In America where I had never dreamed I’d end up.
