10,819. I'M NOT THAT FACT

I'M NOT THAT FACT
That waterwheel runs through 
every mountain town  -  there's
a fair and certain meditation in
each hamlet and village along
the way : how one little river
twists and turns and yet touches
ten towns that still call it theirs.
-
I won't object, except when they
load it up with superlatives. It's a
peaceful world. And. Then. But.
They arrive. Out car windows and
sidewalk fronts, colloquial music
that affronts : ' I'm swaggin' and
ballin' against all odds. Ayy, I 
been fuckin' ho's and poppin' 
pillies. Man I feel just like a 
rockstar.' : Those are real words in
the world. Now nothing's unspoiled.
But do you see how it happens?
-
I hear music when I hear your name.
