Anytime I (/Ai) write Jumbi
with my phone it turns Jumbo
 
mumbo jumbo simi dimi mix up
mix up like we teacher call: shaka
 
shaka inglish. Dionne said: The Man
white-cap-black-cap in language we
don’t even know. Someone is taking
 
Joan’s memory, stealing thiefing lifting
and she can’t so we can’t no one refer
to one’s self any more. Our I and I and I
Ai an Ai an Ai an wii Kriiyaliiz
is missing. She write Ai and got trickified
 
smartness saying she is no longer
does not exist
does not matter
is not matter, is
 
Jumbi turn Jumbo
ready to haunt
some motherskunt
boneless, burned
retrieved from the pyre
smashed and mixed
and drunk
inhaled, re-membered
forgotten, for good/benefit
of all who’ve been touched
together, torn to be darned
damned to be a blessed
