Steps To skip Up
for Z.P.A.

my desire is to get somewhere,
to get where I’m going
your music’s getting me no where

on your bus, desire, aim to get to town
I’d get off your bus, I’d walk, I’d wait
but I’m late, friend from long ago to meet

your music, instead of getting me somewhere
is keeping me back, pulling me back

in the way of the flapping of my mind’s wings
