Doin It To Death
(for James Brown)
d e a t h
you’re too late
he’s already sizzled stages
across every single state
splitting to the floor
with a cold sweat scream
slamming to his knees
t h e n
back up & spinning
shouting
please please please please
he funked a nation
a n d
he’s already done it
to you too
you’re too late
death
