When I was a boy, I looked at an eclipse with my bare eyes in The South Bronx of burnt out buildings.

A strange thing happened afterward.

A bright light appeared in front of my bedroom window, as did a hurricane inside my room that scattered my comic books around, among other objects.

I was being pulled into the light.

It was sheer force of will that prevented the little boy I was from disappearing into another dimension.

I wasn’t ready for a new reality.

This is the persistence of my memory. 

I recall being gifted in childhood with photographic memory and creativity.

I remember doctors that wanted to administer a new drug designed to dissolve a gland in the head of the little boy I was.

 I stared into the eyes of a doctor. He didn’t give me the drug.

The place where it happened was destroyed.

Today, it’s a parking lot of sorts for The New York City Police Department.

In The New Millennium, a young American man tried to get inside the building my mother has resided in for decades.

 He identified himself as Mark Wilson, a reporter for The New York Post.

He wanted to interview eyewitnesses to several bright lights across the building that hovered for a few seconds before taking off at unbelievable speed.

I studied pictures on his cell phone. 

Mister Wilson, I am sure you are reading this, as I am sure of scientific evidence to prove aliens have been on this gem of a planet for thousands of years.

One of the aliens is called poverty.

Make with the mild mannered reporter thing and help change the world for the best.

I am transmitting this final message from a public library in The South Bronx.

Afterward, I will go out into the street and look into the eclipse.

I wasn’t ready to leave the world when I was a kid.

I am ready

Now

I died and went to Google Heaven


Some blacks and whites are color blind in their dreams

 

I dreamt wide-awake last night those words

 

I died and went to Google Heaven

Black Friday



This is a make-believe gift for The South Bronx: it’s a state of the art charter school where “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” Albert Einstein believed.

You're so selfie you thought this blog was about you?




In The South Bronx, when I was a boy who wanted to earn an NYPD gold shield, I followed footprints in snow that lead me to the home of Where The Wild Things Are.

 

Write what you know, Danny, advised Ms Raesade, beloved 6th grade English teacher who believed I would write The Great American Novel. I know The Hunt’s Point Public Library was my Fortress of Solitude and The Bat Cave to boot up ideas.

 

In spite of having Patience and Fortitude, I got tired of waiting for Super Man.

 

I wanted to go where no one has ever gone before.  I wanted to be a science officer to make computers talk. I found a book called From Sand Tables To Electronic Brains.

 

I recall this because of a photographic memory in childhood enhanced by gifted ones.

 

Imagination is more important than knowledge, Albert Einstein wrote to me in this mansion of geniuses that made me feel like Richie Rich in The South Bronx

 

I have a dream for The City That Never Sleeps.

 

I dreamt of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor reading from her book from her hometown libraries to inspire future dreamers with homework on Earth as I figured how to do my homework on creating a tour book to draw tourists to The South Bronx. To quote Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, no one gets a dream done alone.

 

That applies to a former South Bronx resident who wrote We, The People in 1776.

 

I’ve been around like The Man In Black sang. I was a US Marshal or Lone Ranger

 

Reckon its high noon to serve this here NYPL warrant for arrested development.

 

Book them, Dano. Poetic Justice writes again on sunset of centuries and sunrise

 

Once upon a time at The Public Library, the boy I was found A Winkle In Time.

 

Know the past. Just never repeat bad things in history again. Find the future.

 

This has been a mural of words for dreams and other planes of existence.

 

I died in The South Bronx of America and went to Google Heaven

 

Thanks for sharpening super visions, NYPL.

 

It’s my time to make you see.

 

See book. Read movie

 

Hope sequel’s better

 

LOL

O Danny Boy is one of the things that annoyed my childhood in The South Bronx of America. The Irish and most of New York were always singing that song to me

 

My rock star name is Danny Dodging Bullets In The City of Guns And Roses Way Before The Matrix! Got that? Then I died and went to Google Heaven.

 

HAPPY NEW FEAR OF LOVE, HUMANS!

 

Revenge is living well.

 

LOL
