| Poem | | She’s familiar, | | aint that the blues | | Sleeping beside her, | everyone knew | | Chipped beef on Monday, | | Thursday cold stew | | Dishes piled high, | | paycheck gone through | | She’s familiar, | | ain’t that the blues | | Home from work early, | | today around noon | | Mattress was creaking, | | my pistol I drew | | Two shots in my brother, | | —four more in the flooze | (Chicago Illinois: Performed with Clinton Mace at Cabrini Greene 1985) |
