" Help me,
Sandy. Listen to my talk. Hold my hand when I git too sad. Laugh at my fears
that keep poppin’ out on me like some childhood disease. Be my vaccine,
babee. I need you. Don’t ever leave me, babee, cuz I’ll never have a love like
you again. I’ll never have another woman again if you leave me. "

― Sonia Sanchez , Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems
