And also Negro propaganda insists upon simultaneity, both of which you just touched on.
It makes me think of black holes.
In the language of physics, black holes act as, quote unquote, ideal black bodies, bodies that reflect no light.
And they form when a star collapses.
So they form out
something.
You know, I'm thinking, I mean, this is just crazy.
Much like you're saying Negro propaganda is born of an imploding narrative,
black hole is born of the imploding star.
And they warp all of the typical understandings of time and space, literally, because of their strong gravitational pull.
So in a way, it feels like Magical Negro is constructed like a black hole that rearranges its universe on its own terms, which is what really a black hole does in reality.
Mm-hmm.
I just didn't know how that sounded to you.
And I love the idea that the pull of that comes from the implosion.
they're linked.
Like the fact that the black hole becomes infinitely dense is because of the implosion and only from the implosion is the pull of the black hole happen.
Well, thank you for letting me be weird.
So there's a line in the book that goes, my body is an argument I did not begin.
And you also characterize the way you put the collection together as the process of making a case or building an argument.
And that's a language you don't often hear poets use.
