But the connections are knotted in and out to advance a few at the expense
of the majority. The connection is there, sure, thus are we as slaves ever
connected with  kidnappers and those who betray our brothers, those who
were tossed to the sharks in the middle passage, those who passed, or sold
themselves or their brothers...all connected sure...in paranoid chains of
iron and daisies,  but America, in her magic moments,  in the cusps of
historical subjunctive, when the possibility of connection through a
cultural transformation is glimpsed, if only in fleeting fibers woven,
woofed and warped, and by remembrances and narratives fondly fondled and
made fabric of fictions...but always the grim strand wolf, what great big
camera eyes he has! and the better to pick the whale carcass clean and dry
up the mat making, the weaving, the ever entangled in revolution, in
mutiny, in the marraige of men through labor.
