Quote: Adrienne Kennedy

    We never got to see Frantz.  Alice
and I went to the hospital
in Washington where we thought he was.
We were not admitted.
  I still read from his life and
search for the cause of his
illnesses and death.
  My romantic sister-in-law, up until
her death we all lived
on 16th Street.  I see her writing
scripts, arranging us all
for the camera.
  We never had a film club again.
After David's imprisonment
Alice didn't make films much.
  Several years ago at Thanksgiving
we looked for Alice's
favorite scene of Now Voyager; it
was missing.  She
believed she lost it that winter
in London.

  I continue to read long passages
from Fanon, but for now a brief segment:

             "But the war goes on:
      and we will have to bind
      up for years to come the
      many sometimes
      inneffaceable wounds that
      the colonialist onslaught
      has inflicted on our
      people."
