Today on Thanks Ranks Radio (7.19.07)

Excerpt from the 51st (dream) state by Sekou Sundiata:

And what if we could show
that what we dream
is deeper than what we know?
Suppose if something does not live
in the world that we long to see
then we make it ourselves
as we want it to be.

R.I.P., Mr. Sundiata.
