If you�re such a slave child, where is your Africa? My Africa is living alone on a poet�s wage in a charming Manhattan apartment where on a typical Saturday night Marlon Brando might be photographed on bongo drums.
Can you remember your homeland? Only its cool, uncrowded, echo-filled museums through which inexplicable breezes would waft floor wax fumes and antique velvet fragrances straight into the dreams of dozing sentinels.
(And then they�d dream� of Memphis mansions.)
And what is your hope for the Liberian Zion? That we might all find room there to be less encumbered than enriched by our attachments.
