“Because the voice says so. And I believe it.”
“Does it talk to you or does it talk about you or others?”
“It talks to me.”
“Does it call your name?”

“Who are the others?”

“You mean God is talking to the black people through you.”
“I mean God is black.

What do you think of Cain’s affirmations?”
“He never told a lie. If he says that God talks to him, he is convinced that God is talking to him.”
“Do you believe he is a saint?”
“God only knows, and never better said. He might be, but again, I have my own taste on the matter. I’m not keen on perfection, especially when it’s dressed up like hardness. I prefer the cracked plate, the slightly blunt spear…”
