To the Beats

I am walking towards
the dying sun

to the beats of the reggae drums
ba.bumbabum
babumbum.bum

Tell me a titillating story
about yourself, to the beats,
the beats of the reggae drums

babum.babum
ba.bumbumbum

I walk best when
New York astonishes me:
with its sheets of blue,
wisps of wind, curls of grey

and its beats, always the beats,
the bumbabum.ba
babumbum
the reggae beats
