2011.
I remember thinking, Is she trashy as all get out, right on Kanyeâs arm?
SUGE KNIGHT
Suge is pronounced like sugar without its -ar.
Liar turns lie. Color turns cull. Whisper, wisp.
In August 2005, Kanye hosted a party before the Video Music Awards. And Suge got shot there.
MSNBC reports:
ambulance, fire and police officials swarmed
the shooter was described as black and wearing a pink shirt
Giddy. Frivolous.
Treasure, trezh. Splendor, splend. Shiner, shine.
In March 2010, Suge is suing Kanye for money, but a car accident keeps him from his court date.
Perez Hilton reports
a quote from Knightâs lawyer:
Nobody likes Kanye West anymore.
Even though heâs still selling millions of records, everybodyâs
sick of him.
Error, err. Geyser, guise. Razor, raise     blaze.
The bullet took the light from the front of the gun. The bullet took the light into the leg and bone.
I think Sugeâs alight with something like grief.
Can Kanye save him from something like that?
KANYE AS A QUANTUM PARTICLE YET TO BE OBSERVED
Is there room in a biography for what didnât happen?
December 2010, MiamiâKanyeâs once-scheduled court date
with Suge Knight.
January 2011, Dominican Republicâhis once-rumored
wedding to Amber Rose.
Less than three hours to fly from one place to the other, to fly
over the Bahamas that fall like inch worms from Floridaâs peninsula,
to fly to a country that shares an island with Haiti, that nearly touches
Port Au Prince with its border like a series of shark fins.
How would their marriage have begun? Following such trouble,
the slow pulse of the Earth destroying the Earth. But then,
how funny if Sugeâs missing earring had ended up on Amberâs finger.
Photos of her in the tabloids as she leaves a car, stands from a table.
If Kanyeâs life collided, collapsed. If he woke one morning
and, having made no decisions, all the possibilities came to be.

GODâS FACE OVER GOLD
Kanye West has a godâs face over gold.
But his eyes are like manâs. His voice overflows.
So it must be his mouth, his tongue unrolled.
Kanye West has a godâs face over gold.
I think he hears prayers when nights are cold.
He canât be a man when his heartâs a rose.
Kanye West has a godâs face over gold.
But his eyes are like manâs. His voice overflows.
TWILIGHT: STARRING KANYE
The vampires are who everybody
wants in their movies right now, but who knows
what new creature weâll see ourselves kissing. Iâm
thinking the next one wonât idealize a
white man, but maybe those motherfucking
types go on forever. What monster
has such sparkling black skin? What monster
has sparkling black skin but everybody
can find him more man than motherfucking
beast, can still desire him, godlike, knows
itâs safe for their sweet daughters to have a
cutout of him in their sweet bedrooms. Iâm
not thinking of zombie Michael. Iâm
thinking the black man canât be a monster
because he is one, because we wonât let a
fantasy form around him. Everybody
has at least one dream where the city knows
itâs in trouble. And itâs the motherfucking
dreamer who has a foot on motherfucking
towers, people, and cars and shit. Or Iâm
hoping Iâm not the only one. God knows
thereâs room for one sweating, flexing monster
in my head. And itâs everybody
else whoâs walking by and flickering a
bit on the street, just waiting for a
person like me to ask, âWhat monster
would you be? Land or sea? Could everybody
love you like that?â Somewhere on the street, Iâm
yelling, âYou canât make every monster
into sexy Halloween costumes.â Kanye knows
why fantasy exists, and stories, knows
how
