I BE KING DRIVE

at 90th Place. I be

Tuley Park with

tree-lined greenery

I be the South Side

of Chicago with

Red Line, Soul Train

I be Mother Eva

who spoke her mind

and gave them hell

I be my Grandmother

Temple, cooking and

baking in the kitchen

filling the house with

sweet sweet smells

of caramel cake

I be Father Robert

who infuses me with

Chicago history

and black jazz.
