Nancy Santos
Burnt Orange Morning

Jimi Hendrix (Monterey Pop Festival, 1967)
In response to Dorianne Laux's Mick Jagger (World Tour, 2008)

I'd run out of juice with a single muse. My gray matter's juxtaposed, sweating after eating habanero peppers, freezing from serving revenge cold with Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino.
