Jonterri’s Quotes

“Not every skin-teeth
is a smile 'Massa'

if you see me smiling
when you pass

if you see me bending
when you ask

Know that I smile
know that I bend

only the better
to rise and strike
again”
― Grace Nichols, The Fat Black Woman's Poems

“One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper pattern at the right moment.”
