Señoras, señores y señoritas; buenas noches. Esta noche presentamos con mucho gusto información interesante acerca de la llama. La llama es un cuadrúpedo que vive en los grandes ríos del Amazonas. Tiene dos orejas, un corazón, una frente y un pico para comer miel. Pero, está provista de aletas para nadar. Las llamas son más grandes que las ranas.
I lassi ner andë, i salquë né laiqua,

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? The ten-dollar founding father without a father. Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter, by fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter, and every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up. Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of, the brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter, then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned, our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain, put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain. Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man, took up a collection just to send him to the mainland. Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came and the world is gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?
As I descend into myself I find me in every conceivable way, every thing. As I attempt to reach out to them I find myself ever blackened by the shadow of the things I try to repress and forget, always there, always lingering. I know that the only way to reach myself is to cross this black abyss. I am afraid, not of the darkness, but of what I will be on the other side. So I ever remain on this Island of isolation, waiting, forever waiting.
As I look into what I perceive to be the location of my fears, I expect it to be full of many things... instead it find nothing. A great expanse of nothing, I scream into the oblivion and nothing is heard. I reach out and nothing is felt. Then I realize I do not fear the oblivion rather I fear walking into it. I fear the nothingness that I must pass into, that I must become.
