Poem About My Life

i live in _____   
with thanks to Ntozake Shange

i live in art
is this where you live
i live here in art
i live on creative street
my friend lives on free expression avenue
do you live here in art
ideas
dancing round me like rain on other folks
colors paint the sunrise

bright and beautiful like the night sky

dark and gray as an October rainstorm soaking my mind
thinking they was thoughts 

i got inspiration where other people
got money & another world for my mind
swim around in a dream like somebody

else/be swimming in a pool

i live in art
   live in it

believe in it

i cd even touch it

wear imspiration on my soul
dreams rise so fulla art

ya cd make a field where yr bed is &
rest yrself
rest yrself in art
