Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Love Train

Aretha, Marvin
and Smokey form
the Rushmore Mount 
of soul

James Brown
the elder statesman
Etta James
her voice of gold

Prince and
Jimmy Ruffin
there standing in
the wings

Curtis Mayfield
‘It’s All Right’
The Windy City
brings

Al Green
is for the ladies
with fantasy
in song

Glady’s Knight
the smoothest silk
with Ben E. King
along

Levi Stubbs
and Martha Reeves
still warming up
out back

As Stevie Wonder
and Michael J
keep soul’s love train
— on track

(Memory Of The O’Jays At The Uptown Theater: April, 1971)
