Forgot to clock in.
Great—a full day’s work for free…
Memory sure pays.

Step back, doors closing. Yet the man stays by the door. The delay’s delayed.

Surnames
Written by C Hues

Surnames sever U.S. from history and children from mothers. Surnames are silent steps, screams, shadows in the shack, Time machines, footprints, schemes—something sacred to others. But what if you are black? Surnames colonize, conquer, and conceal the core. Colonizers gave U.S. their surnames but also their blood, English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and more— Yet our names are still dragged through the mud. Surnames show that we were owned and could not own. Although DNA can be marked and traced, The X some claimed was this unknown— The names to never be mapped and placed.
