quiksand
take me by the hand
give me a mirror
so i can watch myself sink
surrender
succumb
no fight
amused by my apathy
solace in the instability
comfort in the fragility
refuge in the inconsistency
mocking myself merrily
happily descending
into peaceful plunder
Dirty Pidgin
The idea that pidgin is second-rate English is more fowl than what this dirty bird just did to this poor kid. Pidgin is a beautiful blend of languages, cultures, and lifestyles that converged upon Hawaii during the Plantation days. Pidgin was the attempt of the Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, and other migrant workers to meld into a cohesive force to RISE UP against the Plantation owners and demand better wages, rights, and working conditions. Pidgin is a language of freedom and liberation, so ENJOY IT!
