Somehow, through fire or through fury, the\rPalaceer of Shabazz Palaces caught wind of the tale, and it is through his\rprism that we hear the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe beach was there, and Atlaantiis, and chemical alterations\rand cell memories and Andre Norton, Richard K. Morgan, and always Octavia\rButler. There were killings and there were votes, and brutality in both. There\rwas sound and there were other worlds, and there was a vastness so\rparticipation sometimes came only at the edges. And the Palaceer coasted down\rwith the alien notion, like Quazarz, and so became.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn Quazarz when they look at this place they see the\rinhabitants, the humans, but they don’t assess as we do. And so Quazarz was\rsent to meet a cat with vibration, a creative and courageous, caring,\rcompassionate dude that stood out. The dude was a drug dealer, but that was\rneither here nor there, until his dealings squashed the rendezvous, leaving our\ralien alone to figure out what this place is really all about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eComing from a simpler, more essential, innocent place, the\rhero could not make heads nor tails of most advancements. From an aerial view,\rhe saw that a good percentage of earthly vibrations were on very small squares\rand it became his belief that this world was very disposable and the spans short.\rHis opinion was not of anything good nor bad but simply the truth. The\rmachines—he noted—though at the behest of their master’s voice, are scorned,\rand jealous as all hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd so the tale is told while surfing on the board of Shabazz\rPalaces, with its sturdy base angled for takeoff on a new trajectory. There is\rnew blood and space and room to be different and have different assets and\rdifferent art and different ways to talk and also open up some space inside to\rdo something new. There are pages and there are drawings, and color and faces\rand inked dialogues written in ancient futuristic hieroglyph. There are scales\rand there is melody and there are Sunny days and there is Darkness, but \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e—it\rshould be noted—to the Palaceer is not a lack of illumination or brightness.\rMaybe it is dark, but in it is always optimism and joy, a bright darkness and a\rfull, hopeful one as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt comes in gold, and it comes for the night.
