More From Nikki Giovanni

If you have an all-white neighborhood you don't call it a segregated neighborhood. but you call an all-black neighborhood a segregated neighborhood. and why? because the segregated neighborhood is the one that's controlled by the ou - from the outside by others, but a separate neighborhood is a neighborhood that is independent, it's equal, it can do - it can stand on its own two feet, such as the neighborhood. it's an independent, free neighborhood, free community.
Independent Two White
It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. except in this case i was all the parts: i was the lover on the platform, i was the lover on the train. and i was also the train.

I'm a big rings person...and bracelets...and earrings. i love all of it [laughs]. one time, i was getting off an airplane and i had been traveling for like a month in europe, and i came from the airplane right to my mom's house who i hadn't seen in awhile, and she looked at me and she goes, "is it possible to fit any more jewelry on you? is that actually possible?" and i looked down and, because when i travel i don't like to pack my jewelry so i end up wearing a ton of it, and i had just had everything on me. and i love buying jewelry when i travel - so there was a lot.

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. we travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. we travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. and we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.
Falling In Love Time Travel
Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. more than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. but if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is somewhere and not anywhere.
Old Neighborhood Emptiness Shows
We had an airplane, a beechcraft baron, that we - i had since 1981. and annie [glenn] and i both of had to have knee replacements unfortunately over the past year, and it made it more difficult to climb up on the airplane. we weren't using it that much so we did - it hurt a lot but i finally sold the airplane.

When i was small and easily wounded books were my carapace. if i were recalled to my hurts in the middle of a book they somehow mattered less. my corporeal life was slight the dazzling one in my head was what really mattered. returning to books was coming home.

By our heavenly father and only because of god, only because of god. we're like other couples. we do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as i call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. but a marriage is three of us.
