As you know, as a queer person, like I I waited so long for my life to begin.
You know?
Yeah.
Like after I got out of my parents' house, after the surveillance of high school.
You know, like an all of those like I gotta get a girl for her prom, you know what I mean?
Like that kind of shit.
Like I was waiting for my life to begin in my twenties.
And then to think by forty I'm gonna be dead.
Mm-hmm.
Like the sense of time and the anger, like it just can't be understated, you know?
Can make one insane.
And and and if you don't know AZT, if you don't know the stuff in that poem, go look it up because there's a whole history that's been erased for you that is waiting for you to discover it.
Um AZT especially will put you down a rabbit hole, I think a a good one.
Yeah.
I'm gonna read uh the title poem from from Melvin Dixon's first book, um, which is called Change of Territory for DM.
Shadow of the Pyrenees on the train's steamy window, and the only clear spot until snores from six sleepers cloud it is the print of my hand still waving goodbye.
Revenir means to come back, to return.
The R rolls up the tunnel of the throat on a soft gargle.
I count the years we've travelled forth and back unducin and now cease.
Alone on this night train to Madrid.
