The following is an idea and concept that came to my head while walking through New York yesterday in the morning. Finally putting ideas on paper, and of course with this being the first day in the office after the weekend, I had to try to jot down some notes until lunch. Hopefully this has some substance to it.

The End?
I tried to call sleep not knowing what to expect,
I hide in wanted ignorance,
I buried myself into something, someone else,
But you were sitting right there,
Our words were said, actions we made,
Now we were married to this one last journey,
The close to this book…not an end to one chapter,
This open road, this final journey,

Back from those High School days when I could turn on BET, other than Rap City, the Yo MTV Raps knock off, there was a special show called Caribbean Rhythms, I could watch that show on repeat…I guess you know why.

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
