I seen her in the subway, on my way to Brooklyn.
"Hello, good lookin, is this seat tooken?"
On the A Train, pickin at her brain,
I couldn't get her number, I couldn't get her name.
I said, "I still like your style and fashion,
But I hate your hot sadiddy attitude wit a passion.
Is it because brothers like to hawk a lot?
Is it because your sign don't talk a lot?"
She turned away, no play, I said, "OK,
You don't really look good, I hope you have a bad day."
Man is symbolic to the sun. The sun is dealing with a ball of fire and didn't go out yet. Me being symbolic to the sun, that's what keeps me going, that's like my hunger. That's like my fury, my self esteem. That's the elements within me that keep my body motionable. The fire is self esteem. Inner strength.

Back in the day, music imitated life. Now it's the opposite way around: life is imitating music. It's like whatever the rappers say, people think that that's how we're supposed to be; but back then, we kind of looked at the streets, and we made music for that.
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the universe
What could you say as the Earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the Milky Way, world's outasight
Far as the eye can see, not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As you stare in the darkness, your knowledge is took!
So keep starin' soon you suddenly see a star
You better follow it, cause it's the R.
Everything derives from the mind. From sex to the way you want people to perceive you to anything in life, it all derives from the mind. If people start realizing this and get deeper into themselves they'll realize there's nothing that they can't do.
"The man is the captain, the women is the lieutenant and the kids are the soldiers. Like right now I'm not home with my kids. I teach my Wisdom so when I'm not there she takes care of the shorties. Just like the sun shines on the moon, and when the earth rotates and the moon is over here, and the sun is over here, and the sun and its shaded on the side we get light from the moon, showing and proving how we're symbolic to the stars and things of that nature."
While my parents discussed the new situation, I was thinking about my favorite ball, which had vanished mysteriously that day. I recalled chasing the ball down the sunny path which led to the big pines and seeing it roll in there, but when I dove into the shadows beneath the branches, the ball was gone. I searched and searched, but it was nowhere to be found, although it was impossible for it to roll away because there was a high fence behind the trees. The whole thing was beyond belief, and so terrifying that I ran all the way home. Now, listening to the excited voices of my parents, I thought how lonely my boll must be lying somewhere outside in the dark.
Indeed, my father traveled abroad only once, when he was very young and at the time of the Great Depression in the late 1920s. There were no jobs in Riga, people were very poor, and the situation seemed hopeless. Like many others, my father and his friend Fillip decided to seek their fortune far from home. Dreamers and visionaries, they chose Brazil, because Rio de Janeiro sounded alluring and exotic. They imagined the beaches of the Copacabana with tanned beauties and a fantasy life in orange groves. Since they were penniless, they took on odd jobs along the way, moving slowly towards their destination. In this way, they managed to visit Prague, Berlin, Paris and Lisbon, and, in the process, my father acquired the ability to speak, read, and to carry on a light conversation in those languages. In fact, his talent for languages, in fact, and his erudition in geography and history were amazing, especially since he had only attended elementary school.
Sometimes my father wondered why he ever came back. Life with his parents and five sisters with their constant bickering in a small Riga apartment had always frustrated him. The oldest child in the family and the only son, he chuckled condescendingly, but, in fact, he hardly knew them and had no deep feelings for them. Although he loved his mother dearly, he was somewhat alienated from his father.
I do not remember my grandfather very well and the few my memories which I do have are unsentimental. I always saw him from a distance; he never made any efforts to become close to me, never fondling me or taking me on his bony knee. I doubt if he had any feelings for me. His son, struggling to escape his milieu and become a member of the bourgeosie, was also a stranger to him, and I, his plump and well-groomed grandchild, did not charm him either, even though, when I was born, he did make a bassinette for me.
In the photograph in front of me each of these individuals is on the threshold of his or her personal ordeal. What did my grandfather think about as he lay on the barrack plank-bed covered with spittle? Perhaps about the fate of his wife Sone and his daughter Brokha and her children? He who lived close to death for more than four years must have known how horribly they would end. For a long time, my father hoped that grandfather had survived. People sometimes showed up after month or even years, and those who did come back all assured him that they had seen my grandfather alive. But hope gradually died, and my grandfather, after whom no name was given to any baby born later in the family, passed into non-existence. His name was David. This story about him is my epitaph to him, the last and only memory.
Memories come fast. I see us, grandfather and I, walking together. Dressed in an expensive black coat and an elegant hat, he always looked like a dandy. I can still feel his warm dry hand firmly holding mine; We are in a grand mood simply because we are together. As we walk along, I read the street signs easily, so I am only five. Grandfather is very proud of me and looks around triumphantly at everybody. People are smiling at us warmly and I cannot understand why.
I often sat beside grandfather on the couch in the dining room talking or reading. The couch was against the wall opposite the window and a huge buffet on the other wall shielded one of its sides. I loved this dark corner most of all. Later, when grandfather got sick and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he always tried to find a place there in order not to show anybody how much he had changed. When he was taken to the hospital, I experienced a hysterical fit for the first time in my life. After his return from the hospital he grew even quieter than usual and started to get smaller and smaller with every day. Only his stomach grew because it was filling up with liquid all the time. He suffered enormously. He could not move or breathe normally and a nurse come every other day to drain off the liquid. All I wanted during these days was to be as close to him as possible and to help him in any way I could. I loved him even more than before. When later, in school we were taught that pity is a shameful emotion and to feel sorry for somebody is humiliating, I never could hear it without irritation because I will always consider it one of the most noble human feelings. Looking then in the eyes of my dying grandfather, I learned how comforting compassion is and how desirable in human life.
Sometimes I think about what would have happened to me if the War had not broken out and if I had continued to grow up in a normal environment. How would my life have turned out? Who would I bem? Sometimes I see myself among those building Israel, sometimes among students at the Sorbonne. But always it is a career life, a profession. This is inevitable.
Under such conditions these women did not know how to dress their children and themselves in order not to freeze. Nor could they understand how to feed them without a convenience store on the corner as it had been at home.
During the first days of their new life the exiled women, abruptly wrenched from the warmth of their comfortable apartments and the pleasant responsibilities of their habitual lifestyle, thought that they were in hell. It never occurred to them that for most Russians this was and still is a normal way to live. Now they had to learn it not from books and movies, but from their own hard experience.
However horrible the fate of the exiles, it is, nonetheless, true that, given those specific the historical circumstances, the Bolsheviks did, indeed, rescue them. Had they been left in Latvia one week before the War broke out, most of them, together with friends and relatives, would have ended up in ghettos and camps. Our family miraculously escaped the seemingly inevitable exile, at least the first wave of the repressions, which were interrupted by the outbreak of the War. We also were lucky enough to flee from the Nazis, so our lives took a new and happier turn.
For years it was common belief that, for the Soviet Union, the War broke out suddenly, without warning. Invariably, Soviet propaganda referred to the perfidious German attack on Russia. In fact, the War advanced gradually, the Germans sending out their menacing signals day after day. In the warmth and comfort of their nests, however, most people did not want to notice anything, although ominous thing occurred long before the invasion of the Soviets in Latvia.
I used to go with my mother to the so-called Central Market, whose huge pavilions displayed all sorts of interesting things. The pavilions were originally built as hangars, which later n were converted into a marketplace. Moving from one pavilion to another, I loved to see the mountains of fruits and vegetables of all shapes and colors fallowed by pale yellow cubes of butter and cheese amid which, as if setting them off, the fresh amber colored honey gleamed in combs. Then came a striking variety of meats whose color ranged from light pink to almost dark brown, and looked especially striking against the pure white counters, aprons and armlets of the sellers. The fish pavilion was for some reason quieter than the others. In big aquariums carps and brown eels, and the flat bodies of flounders glided by melancholically. 152ee80cbc
