\nin search of inspiration
\nI look out the window
\nto the east\u2026\u2026
\nwhile I enthusiastically listen
\nto my new MP3 download
\nmusic by The Cynz\u00a0 ~
\nI vigorously shake
\nmy head up and down
\nto the lyrics of the track
\n\u2018this is my evolution\u2019<\/em>
\nas I fondly
\nwith a smile
\nremember
\njust yesterday
\nthat band\u2019s singer
\nfront woman
\nwas doing the same
\nas she performed
\nthe song at The Delancey
\nwhere beforehand
\nher and I sat in the dark
\nfervently talking \u2018bout
\nthe struggle
\nof present day artists
\nwho have to
\npromote
\nthemselves<\/p>\n
\nthe cancellation
\nwith my world class
\nhumanitarian friend
\nwhere the discussion
\nwas going to be
\nboys livin\u2019 in the streets
\nused as sex toys
\nby people
\nwho can afford
\na house and a hotel
\nhave a family
\nwith wife and kids<\/p>\n
\nmakes me think \u00a0~
\nappreciate<\/p>\n
