In 01:20
Dropped in the jungle In the cold, brisk dry I see death and I see it for what it is A depression in the ground Where water gathers 'round I think I'll survive
2.
I walked down there, 2 am, midnight Old buildings small and business like Sad as soldiers, hands to their head And they watch their officers die in their own beds The sidewalk supports glass and my feet push it back Then a train toppled, oversees no new track A fallen tiger on her side, waiting But not wanting to die Now to the river I am An artist of prose With the foresight of ghosts Was this what Harlem was like, 2 am, midnight? When Hughes prayed he would die? I don't know, for I head back Greater he than I, that stayed by the river And thought of his life.

To Dad 02:43
I'll do what I want and I'll always continue Lacing strings through gold ringlets There's just enough time here, just enough air Being worked through my system just slow enough And I'm committed and controlled by a consistent loyalty When I step on these steps and I step on what I know I'll get my boots and grab my coats I'll be here forever And that's what makes me strong I'm better than you gave me credit for When you were young I learn from fervent persistence in the time of resistance I gain wisdom unreachable from a recalcitrant diet Of no assistance and being unteachable But I'll teach my son
4.
Out 01:55
A sparrow in snow, I made it to winter And its apparent to me as the plants start to wither That I don't have much time left I made it through summer, though no one was here I showed the whole world that if my motives are clear My mind will be sharp, my strength will be large I'll be like the panther sustained by the dark
