steups!

just wanted to big-up caribbeanfreeradio for directing me to my new favourite description of a steups. i actually found the link on the accompanying caribbean free photo, linked on the 'freeradio homepage. for those who may not know what a 'steups' is, i suggest reading below to see if the description does it for you, or using the link provided in the previous sentence to get the full document. if you'd prefer a short definition, check trini dictionary links on my sidebar. i encourage you to find out yourself. it's more fun.
oh- and since we talking about accoutrements, i should also mention the recent launch of caribbean free video...
and now, my favourite excerpt:

"she could not read or write a word in english
but took every vowel and consonant of it
and rung it around, like the articulated neck
of our sunday dinner sacrificial fowl.
in her anger she stabbed at english,
walked it out,
abandoned it in favor of a long kiss-teeth..."
Lorna Goodison ‘Turn thanks to Miss Mirry', 1999.

walk good.
