I come up with a melody when I read Zora Langston stops me Baldwin is a hot Summer sidewalk baking under my waffle soles what do I do I sit down and write Jack sends in all direction i'm splitting like...an...atom Miles is my molecule what do I do I sit down and write Bird comes out of my pores Monk I damn well seize after he seizes me what do I do I listen to the past wail and I cry my new song
