still (interlude)

jamila woods

chicagoans create this sense of heaven

in the midst of tragedy

in the midst of injustice

in the midst of pain

life goes on all of the sudden

because what else can we do but move forward

you know

the bucket boys are still playing on 87th

the cd man is still walking up and down 79th

the kids are still going to school

the kids are still playing outside

that just shows our resilience
