clarity in da zone: word AI by rdoc

okay i just want some clarity

breakthru,  i been struggling
with the novel, just spinning
my wheels and not getting

anywhere, ended up with pages
and pages of narrative chaos

and ii hear that clock ticking

i decided i wasted a decade
making the hoodoo murder
mystery thread work when

that aint really what move
me, that was me trying to
be commercially viable

but its the call to prophecy that move me
i have spent the last month tearing

at that and being frustrated cause
i didnt see it, but now i see it

i been doing this array of. texts
designed to help bllackfolk
survive the onslaught of trump

and calling mi hoodoo legions to battle

now its just trying to get
them in different venues

so two thing happen
one i decide to just write

what i got, all those fragments
and notes, turn them into

manuscript and leave
them where they are

ima do it like wideman do
fuck you, figure it out

structured chaos, i will move
pieces around next draft

the next big breakthru,

piece been about jubal as reluctant prophet with
the narrator, highjohn the conqueror, frustrated

jubal woont step up

so now ima have the conqeror so urgent
because "a great evil is comiing'

black folk gon be going thru a 2nd reconstruction
designed to break them and i need you

to call on the hoodoo legions to take

up their place as tribal healers trying to get
the tribe thru this brutal winter of the soul

ohyeah

im back in the saddle
writing till i drop

im in the zone
and im loving
my novel again
