Now: Navigate! |
| There are tiers, as in levels, to reality |
| On the industrial corner of North 17th Street & Wythe |
| Two black public high school kids watch a Nordic model get photographed |
| To them, she is lunar, impossible, alien life |
| So, as a comet might relate to a traffic-stopped taxicab |
| Or a Bahamas vacation to a stint in Guantanamo Bay |
| So, as access & privilege relate to their absolute opposites |
| That’s the way that these kids & this woman will always relate |
| And it’s nobody’s fault |
| Yeah, no one’s to blame |
| We all work through the dark |
| We all carry the weight |
| Slender shoulders & blindfolds |
| Spinning in cycles |
| Now, now, now: navigate! |
| There are tiers, as in layers, to an experience |
| Through each lens & metric, the image warps every day |
| I’m either successful, independent, & largely uncompromised |
| Or a non-starter, never-was, has-been since 2008 |
| And it’s nobody’s fault |
| Yeah, no one’s to blame |
| We all work through the dark |
| We all carry the weight |
| Slender shoulders & blindfolds |
| Spinning in cycles |
| Now, now, now: navigate! |
| There are tears, as in waterworks, and they’re threatening |
| To spoil the negotiated sweetness of my afternoon |
| I can’t answer anything honestly without an asterisk |
| Airquotes and doublespeak litter the fountain of youth |
| And if it’s nobody’s fault |
| Then I’m not to blame |
| I just work in the dark |
| I just carry the weight |
| Slender shoulders & blindfolds |
| Stranded in cycles |
| Now, now, now: navigate! |
