It’s a rhythm, a sound a sight it becomes a feeling. Represented in the culture, the music. I used to see them, I still them. They’re grown. Their soundtrack is grown. Their dress is grown. Demeanor, grown. I used to see them, I still see them and I want to hear them more than I do, but they are there/here.
Who’s here? Who’s Grown? Can you see them?
