Entertainment
I was seeking release
Friday nights after class
a quiet drive downtown
never knowing what I’d find.
Music I sought.
I’d driven the street
many times before
but each time was new
as night descended on me.
I was young.
Each waitress met
as if a love or a friend
while I was waiting
for the band to play.
Music I sought.
The blues that played
spoke to every part of me—
I took every note in.
I learned to sing and dance.
I was young.
Away from classrooms
I lived another life
passion found
I learned to live.
