I just dropped @mikewoodld at the airport after almost a month of him being here in St. Pete working on The Producers. I'm sad because he's leaving but mostly I'm just really proud of him and his team. It's been a while since I was around for a show he designed, and I'm pretty sure this is the first time it's happened where I wasn't actually IN the show, so I got to see a lot of the process which was super cool (instead of just finding excuses to come over to the tech table). ANYWAY I'm just blown away by his talent every single day and I'm so proud to be his best friend and even the teensy tiniest part of this process. ❤️ #officeadministrator #MWLD #nowwerebuds #publicdisplayofaffection #goseetheproducersITSGOOD

Pages Matam - "Piñata" (NPS 2013)

Text of the Poem “Piñatas” - After Tina Mion’s “Pinata” painting To the man on the bus I overheard tell a woman in conversation - presumably a friend: “you are too ugly to be raped...” ...Dear man on the bus, Tell the one in five women of this country, that they are beautiful, their four counterparts, spared torment ugly. Tell the one in three women of this world, That you will not make piñatas of their bodies. Watch morsels of them, spill greedily to the famished smiles of your ignorance Shaped like bloodthirsty children. How your words Hit repeatedly, until they broke open Like shattered papier-mache cradle How their blood flowed like candy until Hollow insides Jaws mangled into misfortune from when they tried to scream For Legs torn crucifix Loud cry of eyes muted Tell them how beautiful their silence is.

...Dear man on the bus From smothering cat-calls, to quickened pace of trek home Rape with a dress on. Rape without a dress on. Raped as children, who couldn’t even dress themselves. Tell them how ugly their consent was. Tell the depression, the post traumatic stress The unreported. Tell Mahmudiyah, A footnote in the history of crimson Iraqi sands How beautiful the military’s silence is Cloaked in how we don't ask, and they didnt tell, in the name of country. Tell Elizabeth Fritzl How pretty the flame of her skin was, that turned her Father a torturous moth of incest ‘til she gave birth to 7 choices she never had ...Dear man on the bus Tell my 11th grade student, Lauren That she wanted it, her beauty had them coming. Tell my 7th grade student, Mickayla That she wanted it, her beauty had him coming. Tell my 3rd grade student, Andre That he wanted it, his beauty had him coming. Tell the 8 year old me, The God in me I loved fiercely was so gorgeous, that cousin twice my age, wanted to molest the Holy out of me, Peeled raw until I was as ugly as she was. Rape is a coward hiding its face in the make-up of silence. A murderous fruit, that grows best in the shadows of taboo. A Vietnam prostitute with red white and blue skin, A murmur of bodies left vacant by the souls that spend years, pills, poems, and death trying to learn to reclaim them. ...Dear nameless assailant How this bus carries the burden of your stick and blindfold Patriarchy that has only taught you to treat women like ceiling strung jugs Violence claws up from your throat, Like a monstrous accomplice to the 97 percent that will never see jail ...Dear man on the bus As these words fall out of your mouth, I pray no one finds your children beautiful enough to break open, making a decorative silent spectacle out of them.
