daydream of a garden

poprock lilac little morsel of I don’t have to die today reviving the runic: the candied lithe with fearfulness wasted on a husk eke out grief’s four-leafed- remorse where I confess:	stay warm. be safe. be gentle; with your life don’t forget— they will kill you. and you’ll rest not better but more, be grateful for
the sweet of me— it’s dark, tarried, it’s clear.

City of Fighting Prejudice Plan for Innovative Community Initiative-Based Public Safety 

an erasure of the Rules of Highland Plantation (1838)

Leave 

no Negro 

without 

a 

uniform. 

Protect 

persons 
who can tell 
destruction from fire. 
Arrest Negroes              throughout the neighborhood.  
Seek                  amusement                 of great importance: 
every 

Negro 
is
happiness 
you 
claim. 
Employ                         a                            quantum of 
performance. 
Claim                  him for his                   services. 
Furnish                       every necessary           life 
with                                                 his expense. 
He is  
not entitled 
to good feelings. 

Never                            pass go                             without 
his 

oppression. 
This is 
everything 
satisfied  
with                  the 
restriction:                                              he does not feel. 
Society is kept at home. 
The Negroes
charged 
with                                                           all responsibility 
at end. 

Negroes 
withoutgood reason 
practice                                    an uncontrollable 
right                 to be different. 
It creates a feeling from being out of the control of 
time. 
They                 plan and come                 about midday, in 
perfect idleness – feeling themselves accessible to every thing. 

This                  unsettled state of things 
might                             answer when 
to adopt rules 
to pursue a plan 
of machinery. To operate successfully 
Negroes                         who  
expect attention and exaction  
pleasure their master                       in different departments on the plantation: in the
field 
providing watch at night— 
Negroes is everyone’s business. 

Act                     on the part of a master: 

Get your Negroes                 disciplined 
planting is 
a hell                                without            an Overseer, 
head well combed                             feeling proud.
