lirik lagu logan sparks - i wonder what that mushroom tastes like
in my car, driving through black mountain
north carolina, i listen to what
sounds like doris day shooting
heroin inside sly stone’s throat
one would think that she fights
to get out, but she wants to stay
free in this skin. fresh
the family stone’s album
came out in ’73, but i didn’t make sense
of it till ’76, sixth grade for me
the bicentennial, i got my first kiss that year
i beat up the class bully; i was the man
but for now, in my head, it’s only ’73
and i’m a little boy again, listening
to sly and his family covering doris’s hit
driving down i~40;
a cop pulls me over to ask why
i’m here, in his town, with my yankee tags
i let him ask a series of questions
about what kind of work i do
what brings me to town—you know
the kind of questions that tell you
this has nothing to do with driving a car
my hands want to ball into fists
but, instead, i tell myself to write a letter
to the chief of police, to give him something
to laugh at over his morning paper
as i try to recall the light in doris day’s version
of “que sera sera”—without the wail
troubling the notes in the duet
of sly and cynthia’s voices
hemingway meant to define
courage by the nonchalance you exude
while taking cover within your flesh
even at the risk of losing
what some would call a melody;
i call it the sound of home
like when a song gets so far out
on a solo you almost don’t recognize it
but then you get back to the hook, you suddenly
recognize the tune and before you know it
you’re putting your hands together; you’re on your feet—
because you recognize a sound, like a light
leading you back home to a color:
rust. you must remember
rust—not too red, not too orange—not fire or overnight
change, but a simmering~summer
change in which children play till they tire
and grown folks sit till they grow edgy
or neighborhood dogs bite those not from your neighborhood
and someone with some sense says down, boy
or you hope someone has some sense
