a pale space without distinguishing feature or end.<\/p>\n
blankness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a dull throb of a sound always present, barely perceptible.<\/p>\n
a whining that ebbs and flows, always there.<\/p>\n
blankness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
dull time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
more whining, like sound complaints of tedium.<\/p>\n
blanched air, the smell of acrimony.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
pale space, dull time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
whiteness without end, smelling tired of itself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
black objects appear throughout.<\/p>\n
hazy first, falling into focus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
they are tables, chairs, stoves.<\/p>\n
brooms, lawnmowers, whips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
they litter the space, all black.<\/p>\n
the whining acquires pulse, becomes rhythm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
vibrating against the pulse, the objects spin, pop, and dip; they whirr into life.<\/p>\n
they become young, vibrant Black people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chicly-clad and extraordinary in appearance, powerful, casual and cool.<\/p>\n
Strong. Surprised.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They see each other.<\/p>\n
They see the expanses of pale.<\/p>\n
They listen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the pulsing sound devolves into the dull throb.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They see you.<\/p>\n
They consider the expanse and its sounds, its smell.<\/p>\n
They stand in formation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They gasp, grasping for air.<\/p>\n
Resisting arrest.<\/p>\n
They collapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They gasp, grasping for air. Resisting arrest.
