Candis, I would really like to see use of the quote by Solange used in a future piece of yours. Not only do I think that it is an interesting play on words, but I also like the way it sounds as I say it out loud, the way it makes my tongue work to produce just one word at a time.
What's more, I think that with this specific junkyard quote you can begin to create a entire free-write piece. Maybe by taking one word at a time, and then finding various ways (working in concrete imagery) cycle in each word as the piece progresses. I think this very simple quote holds such weight, and has the potential to be molded and transformed into a piece of really outstanding poetry. I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous I do not have this line; so jealous I want to steal. One of my professor's once told me that "all great poets steal".
