The 2020 Grammys

I almost skipped the Grammys Thinking nothing would appeal, But there were some performances That somehow did reveal That my mind should still be open To the possibility That what I call “thuggy” music Might sound really good to me. With Alicia Keyes as host, her smile Just lighting up the room, The vibes were so inclusive Joy had no choice but to bloom. And the dancers were amazing, So much energy on stage That the audience got into it, No matter what their age. Though I didn’t relish everything, I’m glad I had the chance To experience surprise at what I’ve always viewed askance.
