ray charles at christmas


the man knew how to work

he had occipital cortex that was free to roam
  so he filled it with sound he filled it with soul
he filled it with females   and gun control

                                            filled it up           
                           weighed him down

                just like rock    
                      did  to      roll

when the blind man shoots and he doesn't miss
that'll give you pause to stop              drop              and
                                                                                 kiss

the foundation of worry that let you believe
     that all of the sawdust should mean anything

what would ray charles do?

well


he might count off      let the band do their thing
and he might tell the truth     but then again           
                    he might sing
