From first trip to San Antonio in 11 years.

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.

Somehow I wrote the bulk of this last night on those treacherous keys of my Blackberry Curve. This is actually about a person…surprising since the muse thing has changed. Not a new muse, but just echoes of real events. Originally titled “Youth” last night, “Wrong Place,” seems to fit more with it’s narrative.

You wrote on my heart in indelible ink,
It washed off in the morning,
The chasm of years, were much too deep,
Ten years young, still more mature than my love,
Yet a gap, much to wide,
I wasn’t willing to divide,
You knew what you wanted,
Of me,
Less she,
Yet the stain of your want and need,
For the night, was etched on me,
Nerves raw,
Lust lost,
In me you found love,
Something I knew, but saw from afar,
I knew, when younger than your age,
But sordid now,
Calculating now,
Cautious now,
Our match, not feasible now,
