Be 4 Real and the Garden Gnomes

So I’m sitting on the porch this afternoon rocking in the rocking chair with M who says she wants to dress her daughter, A, up as a gnome and have her stand in my garden and take some photographs of her. I told her that I want a photograph of me by the bar on Orleans Avenue near the projects that is called B 4 Real. She said she wants one too. The truth is that being for real is the ticket – and when you are riding on this ticket – you don’t have the luxury of quantity – because being for real does not attract the average Joe, it’s only those who are too for real, who recognize it.
