If you say so
•
why not ?
//
What's the big deal ?
//
//
I used to go to acting school
Tried to learn to play the part of a human being
• •
I wanted to play the part of a beautiful
Black goddess
Roaming naked in the holy mountains
//
I wanted to show her in the sweat of sacred labor
//
Her beautiful skin
The utter conviction of her brutal purity
Her fearless embrace of both life and death
••
I got me a job as a short order cook in Harlem
///
I used to love to watch the people walkin in the rain
//
Really
There is too much death here
Too much pain
••
I was standing on the Brooklyn bridge at midnight
///
I thought
IT WOULDN'T REALLY BE THAT HARD TO CHANGE
