Despair is a natural feeling in the middle of a disaster. It's been the condition of black people in this country for hundreds of years: realizing that your gov won't help you, your boss may betray you, your friends may leave you. It's the same condition for other people of color, gays, lesbians, transgender. Now on a mass scale people are experiencing that black n' blue despair...the stress, heightened blood pressure, anxiety. If we don't rush 'to fix it' or 'fake it' something can rise out of this agony. That is also the condition of black people. The blues, the rage, the howl. It doesn't have to lead to a poem or a new song. it doesn't have to lead to anything....getting to the blues is enough.
