Conversation - Roland Kirk

Rashaan Roland Kirk

I command you

To go

To sleep

And dream

Oh, dream!

Oh, what am I going to dream about?

I haven’t dreamt all I can dream in life

I’m trying to wake up and live

And make some money off some dreams that

That people been making money off my dreams

No good

You know I ain’t going to do nothing like that

I pull the plug out and then what’s happened?

We are the ones that’s been waking up the world!

You don’t want me to go to sleep

Pull the plug out of you and you’d be dead

You talking to me?

I got a computer at home that’s mean

Invented back in 1930-something

You know the piano, Rol?

You scared of that?

I went by somebody’s house

A woman was making love to a computer

She didn’t have no either
