Notes About The Poem
Playtime

Naked Be---

Naked Be---
by Odin Roark

lettin’ the words drip
crosstown
uptown
downtown
any town

through alleys
valleys
hustle-street tallies

tell it like it is
‘cause if it don’t read
it’ll never breathe

teasin’ is pleasin’
and dreamin’ has meanin’
and no one wants naked be
what naked sees
uh uh
