Chase not the praise of others
seek only the affirmation of self
as you keep an eye out
for anytime you think
you’ve got things
figured out
as you constantly
create yourself
you may yet switch
names like you do
different hats
adopting shapes to match
but all the while
the stars align with
Slim the crescent moon
smiling in night
you are they
and they are you
a bluesman, true
born of the southern
American swamps
singing, dancing
for the coming
light of the sun
up the road, knowing
remembering all is
but one
