we got 'em smashed
in our face 'til my musical soul
hid in some uddar place --
runnin from chair to chair
while the smart chilren stare
made me feel disgrace --
innah my mind
countin' vowels and signs
to catch up wid all dey said --
it got me mixed up
annah failed da grade
an dey ignor'd me like I was dead --
da music went away
den one day
while sitt'in by a stream --
bubbles came an go
an in dat babbling brook
da music started to play --
in a 'chunk of memory
a music weave'd annah numbers seem'd
ta'gree --
words an numbers bubble inna brook
annah music weaves lik da wind in trees
every where dat I look --
pictures at an exhibition or books on a shelf

For example using the area of the brain that is hardwired for face recognition to remember Word strategies and Sounds instead with Music the glue that holds it all together --
