After languishing through 3 skrait days of BBQ, I am officially going vegan. I cannot bear to eat the corpse of another beast cooked slowly over a charcoal fed flame until Labor Day ever again. It’s gonna take me at least 1 week to digest that darned beef!! You know that us Africans just cannot tolerate a whole lot of beef. 
But, even that new swell of my hips and thighs is not enough to take away the pure joy that I feel now that I have officially released myself from bondage. You see, slavery of any sort – voluntary or involuntary – just sucks. I was staging revolts and putting secret messages in quilts and all I had to do was QUIT. Just imagine how Harriet Tubman, Kunta an’nem felt.
Also, your spirit always lets you know when you have made the right decision. You do not second guess it and you feel relief. And, my spirit has made it very clear. When the people feign regret that I am leaving, I just smile and say “Yes, July 28th is my last day.”
Now, I am unemployed and happy.
Where did you excape from, Kizzy?
I runned away from the justice plan’nation where my massa swung a mean gavel, he shole did! But, I’s free nah and I’m headed North.
