My dilemma
How do I get from me
To Ellison?
His writing
Was so tighten
In its structure.
How the hell do I reach that plateau
Without losing the academic
Prowess.
Feeling and energy of such art is my cross to bare.
Because it lies in contrary to
Academic structure.
To me the music
In literature is found in Ralph Ellison writings.
If I had been able to do anything but write
I would be a musician.
A physician of notes
That carried boats and boats
Across the river
To deliver its message upon the
Banks of the big city.
