Jawn

Them grooves
Poppin off
And slammin in

These tracks
Easy to make
With supreme tools
God tools
People naming themselves
After gods
With hammers
And large stakes

Before that
Neighborhood names
Chico, Big and Little
XL, JR, Red

For fifteen decades
There were pieces
Now people raising up
Flags and prophets
Rewriting
Smalls editing in the genome
For hope that one
Will replace the other
Or at least
Seamlessly make itself known
