letra de the library - the last poets

the library
i’ve been seduced
once or twice
the new york public library raped me viciously, assaulted my nose with book smells
till i almost forgot revolution was a thing of the streets
men with herringbones and blue shirts and thick-rimmed glasses have signs [indiscernible] point to flat bush
and the rabbi insisted in someway that scholars and crematoriums were compatible
young whites pouring over books memorizing but never learning
and i wanna holler f-ck, they’ll justify genocide
“i was in the library honest to god i didn’t even know”
it don’t matter
the library tempts me sometimes worse than a woman with wide baby-holding hips and thick calves
sometimes i wanna sleep on it in it through it and wake up to them and say
good morning books
i’ve kissed books before held them close to my brown skin
learned why my mother got moody at the end of every month
but they never taught me how to fight
or how to run from cops, burn bullets
zigzag butchie zigzag don’t run straight fool
taught me to know but not to believe
moms believes in god
i believe in revolution
we both believe in something
devout me
so i guess ill always be tempted and sometimes raped
got to go now books it’s 10 o’clock and you’re closing up
god, i wish i could f-ck you
good night
the library
