i was listening to your chet baker cd
my funny va-
lentine
2 day
on the way home;
not listening
but blasting it so loud
so loud
i couldn’ t hear myself think
about the stressful moments of 2day
then
chet’s trumpet said letsgetlost—
--something in the trumpet
--something in the song
made u pop in my head
& i smiled
4 the first time
since I woke up this morning
& saw you
next to me.
& i smiled.
4 the first time
(
can’t wait 2 get home 2 u
singing
the chaka khan version
)

About Me
- Daij
- First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
