Hanif Abdurraqib

“Doesn't matter how many stars are built or born on a cramped court, doesn't matter who gets a court or community center named after them. But trust: there are more of us, always. Whole gangs of us. Some of us carved our name into trees, into the wet concrete of new sidewalks. Some of us took knives to metal and wrote our names into the death traps of the playground. And so we stay, one way or another. We never make it out, and we never disappear. Permanence is the greatest stunt of them all.”
