Conversations with Ulysses         Chapters & Favorites

Slang

Move it on up,
Keep movin’ it in that direction,
Not all at once
But a little at a time
Until you got it all goin’ on;
Don’t get you tense;
It’ll get you loose,
Workin’ it all the way,
The way you should,
The way it ought to be,
Till you got it all going right;
Right on,
Right there,
Right about,
Top of your game.
You gotta get every bit the negative
Out your life,
Makin’ each moment of living count;
Da best dat it can be,
Regardless of whatever.

Paolo Li Campisi
