The light on the other side…
There are some stars there, this is a light on the other side of the freeway. I thought about how an African American man, and sexuality in general, is just a dark subject - no one wants to talk about it, no one wants to deal with it. And lord knows, …HIV/AIDS is not something [to talk about], as they say in the old-school, “ain’t to b’scussed.” I want to see it less dark, actually I want to see it not dark at all. [Dark is] this big old blanket …smothering important things that (should) be discussed.
