Presenting a Reflection

Who knew that the soft side of 

micro would bring something so 

Legendarily extra to the Ordinary

People in the Valley of Fashion?

 That the ever changing consumer

community could consider, clap, and

cheer at such an iconic champion.

It was an honor to see you at that 

porcelain piano.  To ponder at the bearings

behind your brilliant smile.

To feel the resolve ringing through and 

rippling from your rich rhythmic voice. 

I Used to [Hate] U.  In 2004, I chose a 

rickety lifestyle of reggaeton over roots.

Within time P.ain D.eclined A.s destructive 

love detonated and real love radared.

A perfectly purposeful playing of your 

soulful song screamed to me to Wake

Up.  My dream finally realized gave 

me the Green Light to discover a me

that I didn't know existed. 

I graciously thank your for reminding me

that June 25th can never mark the

death of Music. Just.  A Hero whom 

I never got to meet.  Please, always 

Save Room for your admirers.
