So my play cousin Rahsaan Patterson done came out with a new album chile! Been on rotation in my car, my house, and the workplace.
Let me tell you about one of my favorite tracks, Wonderful Star! Bih, this joint feels like a rainy day in Brooklyn. It’s a cool spring afternoon with an overcast that is fresh yet suffocating like the aroma of cigars. The dewiness in the air is like rebirth. The window is cracked with a phone book holding it up and there’s a pot of pinto beans on the stove. The 1950’s blue wall paper is peeling, I got the stereo up loud and somebody keep playing on my gyat damn phone!
I done rolled me a joint and am starting to do my Saturday cleaning. I have on my favorite run down house shoes and my hair is still wrapped cause I permed it two days ago. and this shit gotta last. I am thinking about calling my mister Tony, but he ain’t come through like I told him last night so he on time out.
My girl Cheryl coming over with a bottle of wine and her bomb ass sweet potato pie later. We gonna exhale and talk shit bout that bitch Kalena who looked at me stank at the laundromat Tuesday. She don’t know me!
OK, back to my mister Tony. I met him this past October. I was on my way home from work and he helped me with my bags off the bus. Though my name Meesha he call me Star.That’s why I like that song.. I am a wonderful mothafuckin star! Ooh, chile I love me some me and I love that Tony loves him some me. You know what, Ima stop playing and call him. After all, he couldn’t come through last night cause he picked up a last minute shift at the factory. Wonderful Star is a deep groove that’s gonna keep me til Tony come over.
To Be Continued…
