THE HOOP
Not a permit. Not a schedule.
The chalk circle drawn at dusk.
Three against three.
The rim welded from scrap metal.
The net knotted by grandmother's hand.
TIMESTAMP: 0400 // SECTOR: NIAGARA
THE MIC
Dead amplifier. Live throat.
The frequency that held when the power died.
Karaoke night becomes cathedral.
Wrong lyric = anthem.
VEIN: COPPER // ROOT: RED CLAY
THE KITCHEN
Collard greens simmering at 0400.
Cornbread rising in the exhaust heat.
The pot that feeds three generations.
We do not ration the feast.
