WHAT IF...

...Body Language Were the Primary Form of Communication?

By J.A. Cobra

 

g If body language were the primary form of communication among people, he would, by conditioning, be fluent in the language. So now, as he approaches Ms. Mahogany beauty, neglecting to hear the initial whisper of her eyes rolling, he hears her clearly when she crosses her arms to exclaim,

 

"I am not interested..."

 

Or perhaps he is fortunate and she speaks seductively with her gaze, inviting worthwhile conversation. He accepts, seating himself beside her, delving verbally into topics of zodiacs and other flirtatious nonsense. But the relevant conversation is the words shared silently, for example, the impatient and blunt statement of him placing his arm around her seat. She hears,

 

"I'm claiming this body..."

 

            And she shrinks away from him. He recognizes his mistake and retracts his arm in a bashful yet tactful apology. Later, she maintains her attraction for him with slight gestures that brush his shoulder and forearm, teaching him that,

 

"Subtlety works too..."

 

Much later, she speaks more overtly, leaning forward at some specific moment. And the words they say with their mouths, but never speak, will establish their perpetual understanding of each other's language. So when he shares these words with another, she knows through the way his eyes suddenly fail to meet hers, through the slightly looser grip with which he holds her hand, his body will scream confession. When body language is primary, it's harder to lie. The language is impulsive.

LEND ME YOUR EAR

 

Die Another Day

By 13 of Nazareth

 

I used to own a gun
for the sake of protection
during hot situations
I'd search for the best ways
to keep my head cool
in neighborhoods known
for young black men who lose

their tempers
their lives
their freedom

yes, we consider the loss of liberty
to be a fate worse than death
even though we're confined
to the block's boundary under
the strict order of street generals

sometimes the borders blur
and the babies get bodied
in their own backyard
t-shirt soaked with life forces
life forces our hands
to retaliate or surrender

surrender sounds too much
like the loss of liberty
so we render ourselves ready
with vengeance is mine
saith the mentality

 

these preparations to strike back
are neither tactical nor practical
we are just gonna go in
broad daylight with our guns waving
in this tsunami of a salutation
and leave
everybody wet up
from the chest up
then leave
family members
with watery eyes
to pick up the peace

knowing that whoever
is courageous enough
will pick up the piece
to perpetuate the cycle

almost sounds like a mantra
almost sounds like a chant
almost sounds like a hook
in your favorite rap...song

I used to own a gun
I carried my gun
like a cloudless sky
carrying the summer sun
from one horizon to another
from one uprising to another
in the midst of an ongoing battle
where all my enemies
look like my brother
but we never hesitate
to open fire on each other

while searching for the best ways
to keep our heads cool
in neighborhoods known
for young black men who lose

we found victory in the use
of water guns and balloons

in this heated war
where no one was exempt
from being sprayed
but everybody lived
to die another day
