That we can’t
Be
Till
The world
Has shifted
Walking down

You know
I’m lifted

For @phoenixnewtimes.com I spoke with Arizona artist Antoinette Cauley on her James Baldwin mural in the Phoenix city skyline & his quote “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Out of my way
Skip cracks

Did U Look Back

City kids
With our heads
In the clouds
Lights out
Where are they now
Streets loud
I was lost in the
Crowd
Subway
Tossing about
Hit the bridge
Got a light
On me
Now
