Leavin' Home

by Walter Rooks

The fried chicken would last
From Georgia to Virginia.
Enough thoughts
To travel the world.
He'd be hungry
From Norfolk to Harlem;
Always full
Of jazz.
Too cold to sleep,
But tired enough to close his eyes.
He'd blow 'em a tune in Harlem,
Like somethin' they ain't never heard.
