"When I sing, I don't want them to see that my face is black. I don't want them to see that my face is white. I want them to see my soul. And that is colorless." –Marian Anderson
Ten minutes.
Ten minutes more.
Just seconds even,
I lie. I lie to you.
I lie and say it will be enough.
It won’t be.
It will be enough,
to keep me coming back,
to keep me wanting for
ten minutes,
ten minutes more.
