TAKAMBA

Lenny do you remember
I had that tape of
Martin Luther King reading
that speech about Funtown
I played it in your player
the little flat one with the handle
we took a walk through the woods
down by the bridge to the water
water was everywhere but
the joggers still jogged
sometimes the wind picks up,
and we can barely hear
sometimes the wind picks up
like we pick up pick out
a little song
shout over one another
because we are excitable,
and the wind’s excitable,
today I thought
I found some new sounds for real
I want to hear them again
in the future
in some new arena
where there is eating
and we'll slump low
in the booths.
