Kicking it with tha homeboys LitRave at Green?!? What LitRave? Green is my home, my family! And you know how it is when you go to visit family... First, you never get there on time. Then, as if being late is not enough, you practically don't listen to what your family members are saying but instead play with that cute little niece or nephew, exchange some hugs with your favorite cousins, and then you and your special little "family clique" get together and talk about whatever comes to mind without paying attention to the rest of the gang. After that, you get some food, talk some more, and then everybody scatters until the next family reunion.
That's exactly what happened to me last night at Green. I am a Green homegirl for gosh' sake! First, it was Johnny... I mean, Jelena come lately. Then, I couldn't resist playing with Tai, Damon and Robin's 6-month old son. He is soooo cute! And no matter what anybody says, Damon, he looks exactly like you except for those huge brown eyes he must have gotten from his mom.
After that, instead of listening to other people's poetry (like a good LitRaver should), I had to schmooze with my homeboys, Poetri, Gimel and Omari and my homegirl Gina. And then, I got into philosophizing and freestyling with Kwame and Lloyd, and before I knew it, it was the end of the reading. Then, we went to Denny's (a Green tradition), some ate, some talked, some did both. And that's about all I remember about last night's Litrave. So, don't ever expect me to submit journalistically relevant reports about my family, 'cause I'm jus' kickin' it wid muh homeboys. That's all (folks)!
