    I am the lost
    I am the restrained
    I am the clutter
    of the rubble
    down in New Orleans.
    I am the soft gradient
    of the hues swirling together
    on a shirt I can't call my own.
    on a shirt in memory
    of someone great
    who passed in 1995
    a year we all remember well--
    like the folds of our memory
    blew up and swelled
    on the day that Jerry left our sides
    and made way to a greater adventure,
    made way to the great
    blue sky.

    I am the sick
    I am the weak
    I can not call myself my own
    I am a child in a sense
    My mind and my soul
    so young and unexpecting
    so naive and so shy
    like everytime I have something
    to say, I just sit back and let it ride.
    Like I ride the vibes of the
    people at the shows
    the little girls in big sunglasses
    the big boys that dont accept no.
    The dancers, the prancers
    the ones that are just wacked
    out of their minds to some other
    day
    to some other time.

    I am the backround
    I am a flip book image
    playing a part
    in a world so big it just tears me apart
    The chick with the braids
    the girl at the shows
    Dancing off beat
    so sweet
    so slow
    to flow
    into the reality
    thats there somewhere
    in the spot light.
