I saw it on Facebook too and loved it. I meant to comment - but I was at work and when I got home I forgot. But I tweeted and facebooked it - people need to hear it.

Ed, I hung out in Leimert Park this weekend. Brought some friends down for food on Degnan. Then today I wrote a poem about Leimert on Facebook, tagged you in it and everything and FB freaked out and I couldn't post it. Guess it's time to use Word to compose first!

It is definitely a piece I want to see and hear as it is read by the author.

Hi Jasmine: As one of the producers of the 1st Annual Leimert Park Arts & Music Festival--I just have to say THANK YOU! I really really.....appreciate your poem. I'm going to share it with the other producers of the show. You make us very proud--it's such a strong poem. We are inviting you to come to the Kwanzaa Heritage Festival Dec. 26 & 27 in the same place and you will feel the same good feelings!

Ha! I sure did omit the food. Awww, it was just too much good going on I could've gone on for much longer. Also, shout out to Carlos Spivey (I want all of the mosiacs!!!), Wendell Wiggins (for the most happy and colorful Eve I'v ever seen), Felicia the earring lady (for hooking me up as usual), and Phillips BBQ (for making me go home and get some ribs that we'd already made. Sho did smell good, mmm!)

Thxs 4 taking me to the "1st Annual Leimrt Park Art & Music Festival". So vivid your depiction of "the Village". "Watching my mama-bobbin' her head" is picturesque. The poem conveyed a sense of beaking bread. Oh by the way, I read the poem twice. Are we on a diet? No one ate any food.
