i live in music 
is this where you live? 
i live here in music 
i live on c# street 
my friend lives on b-flat avenue 
do you live here in music 
sound 
falls round me like rain on other folks 
saxophones wet my face 
cold as winter in st. louis 
hot like peppers i rub on my lips 
thinkin they waz lilies 
i got 15 trumpets where other women got hips 
& a upright bass for both sides of my heart 
i walk round in a piano like somebody 
else be walkin on the earth 
i live in music 
    live in it 
        wash in it 
i cd even smell it 
wear sound on my fingers 
sound falls so fulla music 
ya cd make a river where yr arm is & 
hold yrself 
         hold yrself in a music
