Miles High (Dark Glasses)

We're 12 Miles high tonight

kick off your shoes

kick off those tired blues

those tired blues

if you're quiet, you can hear the word spread

smooth, di-afro-ness, smooth

patina of soul, breadth

as I explore, hands and lips in dire need

slip and slide, go for a ride

jungle dense with muted notes, bass thrum sighs

and always afterward silence

and, I see, you still like to smoke

.

There's talk George Floyd

will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill

one counterfeiter for another
