DIVERSITY IS THE ONLY SAFEGUARD AGAINST ANNIHILATION” WARNED THE PUPPET MASTER IN HIS LAST MEMORABLE SPEECH. SOMEWHERE IN HARLEM OUR COLLECTIVE IS SHELTERED BETWEEN HOMESCHOOLING AND ILLUSIONISM, DISTANT FROM THE PARADE OF CLONES AND COPIES WHICH INFEST THE REAL WORLD. IN A TRANSMUTATION FEAST FOR THE SINGULARITY OF LIFE, POETRY IS THE KEY TO CULTIVATIONG THE BEAUTY OF BEING ONE OF KIND.
