Otis Redding

i worked on
a bay dock
hotter than
sin but in the
winter warmth
was remembrance

but i never
forgot what
confused
consumed
me that i
thought

that which
would be
me and
please
beam
me

up Scotty
only to hear
i've no control
Captain you are
going to be a molecular
jigsaw puzzle of one thousand

pieces
to be put
back together
again Humpty
Dumpty but was
this puzzle before or

after
the
fall
