Thank you all very much.
This is the last one we're going to do.
And so, thank you so much for coming.
Please support more of the poets here.
We have lovely books, make it happen.
Make it happen.
And all, except for the Kendrick and Beyonce,
have come from this book.
So if you want to check my work, make
sure I didn't add shit, which I did.
Make sure I didn't mispronounce stuff, which I did.
But you don't know what I added, and what I mispronounced.
So you can really, really stick it to me
and be like, yeah, what about this?
Damn.
Yeah, you caught it.
But only if you buy the book.
It also gives you the opportunity
to see the other epigraphs that those darn P group just
dashed away.
So there are all kinds of "incentitives"
to purchase this book, or any of the lovely books
that I didn't knock over when I ran by.
You were all thinking I might.
But I respect the written word.
Unlike 45.
All right, so let's go.
This is for Beyonce's Formation and then I will set you away.
I can't set you free, that's up to you.
This conference didn't cost that kind of money.
Ooh yeah, thank you Lord.
All right, let's do it.
Before I do-- Val Jeanty, though.

In lyrics and images, what's this about myth?
Messy Maya, the queer signifyer invokes New Orleans
as the queen signified, but from the drowning squad car.
Who washed up?

What it means to be clothed cheap is to be seen as less.
It's a watching going down, going down,
this new grains sprinkles through the video,
now like spice.
Genealogy is imperative.
Negro, Negro, Negro, allergy.
And next said, the authentic Black men down,
but B must to come up to be that beat.
The beat must strike up and down.
Drum.
This a shimmy between striving, who hears hate, and survival.
Who the 'we' be.
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
Hashtag laddering is about value.
Put it like the reef, or the refer.
The Black girl between threatened and threatening.
Put like the reap and the reaper,
the Black boy jukes between threatened and threatening.
Rightly surrender to.
I'm going to end now because that's it.
I led 3,000 reaped, reaper, threatened, threatening.
Oh, hell no because that's it.
The ladies dance and the marshal moves
as they marshal their formation for best revenge.
Best revenge is your paper.
Best revenge is your papers.
Genealogy is in a pedigree.
The authentic Black bends down, but B
must have come up be that beat.
That beat must be go up and down.
That's the shitty.
We strive her and survive her.
She must be both tea and wean, for she they, I mean dey.
