bayou
30 watts
that's heavy power.
this filament is encased in protection
saving it's heat for no one else.
it does not care about war or violence
it does not care about poverty or disease
it cares about a voltage plate
and it cares about the blues.
play that butter cord
plug that jukebox
and play that song nigger-boy.
because my shoes are fresh shined
so, sit down on the hot step
and play that bayou waltz
you cotton dirty mud lips
you wood stain dance manish boy.

"it cares about a voltage plate

is pretty much my favorite line I have ever read in any poem ever. Is that going way to far? I really do love your writing.
we've already talked about poems and you having the flair. you know?
I had to come back and read it again.
it's not as good after the second round.
