the night
		my compadre Raymond
		we were jumping fences
		jumping for freedom
		Ray says, "Hey Watt
		stop here a second."
		I said, "Hear her
		out in New Haven?"

		and then at the gig
		I sat and I watched them
		a drum and a sax
		both of them talking
		how very important
		two dudes talking
		but everything ain't just
		two dudes talking

		my place in a time
		is a big nada-history
		but my place with you
		is shown symbolically
