taxation without education

excluded from opportunities of respectability in humble confinement
from condescended illusions of independence.
a missed opportunity for assimilated cultural genocide

fayette street at sunrise
(the first public school, not available to african americans who supported it with taxes, opened on holliday and fayette streets in 1829)

with sense of public purpose

steel rhizomes patapsco to ontario
stems rise and spread flowering brick and pavement
woodberry blue mount bentley springs glen rock
trout run roaring branch cedar ledge pine valley
montour falls rock stream
some wither before blooming not sustained
energy from physics little understood

light rail at sunrise
(the cornerstone for the baltimore and susquehanna railroad, which would later become the northern centail railroad, was laid near north avenue in 1829)
