Jimmy's Blues And Other Poems (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I mean, tell me about that night you saw the light, when the light knocked you down. What’s the cost of being lost and found? It must be high. And I’ve always thought you must have been, stumbling homeward, trying to find your way out of town through all those baffling signals, those one-way streets, merry-making camel drivers (complete with camels; camels complete with loot) going root-a-toot-toot! before, and around you and behind. No wonder you went blind. Like man, I can dig it. Been there myself: you know: it sometime happen so. And the stink make you think because you can’t get away you are surrounded by the think of your stink, unbounded. And not just in the camels and the drivers and not just in the hovels and the rivers and not just in the sewers where you live and not just in the shit beneath your nose and not just in the dream of getting home and not just in the terrifying hand which holds you tight, forever to the land. On such a night, oh, yes, one might lose sight, fall down beneath the camels, and see the light.
