I was called an old soul.
The grandmother
Who knew all the things
From long ago.
I laughed.
I did find it quite funny.
This is the music
My father played
I told them.
Ohhh,
That’s what it was.
I smiled.
Yes, that’s what it was.
They let me be after that.
They understood now
Why I got so excited
When Marvin Gaye came on.
When Dennis Brown
Blared through the speakers.
When it was I-Wayne,
Beres Hammond,
Jimmy Cliff,
Cocoa Tea,
Garnett Silk.
Old reggae,
Roots reggae,
Slow reggae.
Soft music
That spoke
To hearts,
Smooth music
That spoke
To mine.
