What song shall we compose today?
What notes shall come out to play?
Will the first note wait for the second?
Whose soul will we channel?
Mozart?
Odetta?
Christopher O’Riley channeling The Talking Heads?
Lady Gaga?
Pittbull?
Will the song be in tune with the universe?
Perhaps a song of dissonant notes,
a sultry blues song
a rap song which leaves all naked
or a wailing Gospel song which echoes the suffering and hope of all who are enslaved.
Perhaps a playful song.
A song of hope or hopelessness?
Courage or defeat?
What song will we sing today?
