So that the world
So that the world
Can watch you die — Gil Scott-Heron

'I don't know it.'

'I gathered.'
'I'm just clarifying. It's not a blues album.'
Jenny ignores my swipe at her intelligence.
'Does your response need to be original? Isn't that what poetry is for, for the poet to express something so personal that it ultimately is universal?'

'Why do you thin of that poem in particular?'
