fam, you're the best!!!!
fam, i gotta thank you….yesterday couldn't have been a better way to premiere address: house of corrections – the audio series.
the day began earlier than usual with an invigorating 10am blog talk radio interview with 24hrmom. we talked about wifedom, motherhood, writing, artistpreneurship and being a woman in today's society – personal topics i live on a daily, but rarely speak about with folks outside my circle.
to her credit, before i knew it, i was joking and laughing and singing the winans' the question is. thank you, luva, for a great conversation and such a wonderful launch for the next phase of address: house of corrections.
fam, you all showed out, too, on my podbean and facebook pages.
get ready! every tuesday and thursday i'm gonna try to take you there with merry, johnson, dora, excellent, mr. sammy and corn. i really hope you enjoy the ride.
o.k. it's my wedding anniversary weekend and me and mr. simms got things to do 
, so i'ma leave you with this video below to pass along to folks at your leisure. let's get as many listeners and subscribers to the series as we can, so we can make a t.v. show and a movie!
thanx again, fam!

The Smell of Freedom, 1965
1965
—-
SHE had never seen a sky so blue.
Well, aqua really. Like in those old National Geographic magazines in the nuns' library where the African savages bathed in the unmolested island lagoon.
And the sun, a glaucoma orangish hue, was hiding behind a cloud shaped like a wounded elephant with only a splash of pink trailing behind it, just to let her know it was there.
Merry swallowed hard and inhaled, the Kentucky dirt filling her wide nostrils. It burned. The smell of freedom.
"Where the bus?"
Merry eyed the blistered face guard eyeballing her ass from the other side of the barbed wired fence.
"One left 'bout 10 minutes ago. 'Notha one should be makin' it's way 'round here 'bout noon."
Merry bit her lip. That motherfucker. Still screwing her and trying to keep her on her back. She wondered the exact time, but wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of asking.
Besides, the look of her old sharecropping friend, the sun, where it halfway hung in the sky and the growl of her empty stomach told her the time for breakfast had been come and gone. Even with her bad legs, she could make it into town to hustle up something to eat before the next bus came.
"Where you goin', gal? Town's duh other way."
Angry, Merry picked up her pace, fire slowly creeping into the bones of her legs and the hole in her left shoe, exposing her flat foot to the hot country road with each step. If only his fat, cracker ass would just leave the gate, then she could turn around and go the right way. But Merry knew better. She knew that stinking piece of white trash would just stand there out of spite.
And watch her go nowhere fast.
TO BE CONTINUED…
