I've gotten 
CAUGHT in the american heroes 
I'm not SURE 

I FEEL like 
my BRAIN doesn't 
ORGANIZE

the information for me as hero

& THEN
I'm LIKE come on
WHAT are you talking about 

georgia o'keefe 
george carlin 

I MEAN yes
you're making that LIST
NOW

you're compiling a list of people who have 
INSPIRED you

BUT 
if I ASKED you 
you're ten years old

WHO
are your HEROES 
what would you have SAID 
THEN

I don't think we were 
INSPIRED very
OFTEN 

what would have COUNTED 

I was pretty DEEP into the beatles 
I had HEARD 

that blue and red set
sgt pepper 
rubber soul

those were the TAPES my dad had


SEE LOOK 
THIS 
RIGHT HERE 

THIS 
is WHY
YOU 


& I have a HARD time
REMEMBERING 

there's a 
THING about AMERICA 

& LIKE 

billie holiday 
I LOVE her
I FEEL 
HER

but 

HERO

MAYBE 
I just have a problem with the WORD

this is NOT 
SOUNDING like what I'm trying to say 

it's just not working like it's 
SUPPOSED to 

BUT 
I'm not sure what EXACTLY it's 
supposed to be LIKE 
BUT 
I THINK 

THAT 
BIT
is what I'm 
MISSING 

& I FEEL like THIS might not be making
a LOT of sense
