Just returning to her reading of this poem, anything of June Jordan live. I've watched these countless times over many years here on You'Tube...Why isn't there more! ? If I wanted to hear Bukowski, I could watch films of him reading live ad-nauseum! Why can't I find more June, more Audrey Lorde...!!!? There must be more out there. I love this poem for its cutting defiance...Just because it's legal, doesn't make it right! Guess I'm glad to have anything of hers to see all these years later.
so hot so hot so hot so hot so hot so what so hot so hot They made a mistake I got more than I usually take I got food stamps food stamps I got so many stamps in the mail I thought maybe I should put them on sale How lucky I am I got food stamps: Hot damn! I made up my mind to be decent and kind to let my upright character shine I sent 10,000 food stamps back to the President (and his beautiful wife) and I can't pay the rent but I sent 10,000 food stamps back to the President (and his beautiful wife) how lucky I am hot damn They made a mistake for Chrissake And I gave it away to the President I thought that was legal I thought that was kind and I can't pay the rent but I sent 10,000 food stamps back back back to the President so hot so hot so hot so what so hot so what so hot so hot Trucks cruisin’ down the avenue carrying nuclear garbage right next to you and it's legal it's radioaction ridin' like a regal load of jewels past the bars the cruel school house and the church and if the trucks wipeout or crash or even lurch too hard around a corner we will just be goners and it's legal it’s radioaction ridin’ regal through the skittery city street and don't be jittery because it’s legal radioaction ridin’ the road Avenue A Avenue B Avenue C Avenue D Avenue of the Americas so hot so hot so hot so what so hot so what so hot so hot so hot so hot so hot so what

so hot so hot so hot so hot
so hot so what so hot so hot
They made a mistake
I got more than I usually take
I got food stamps food stamps I got
so many stamps in the mail
I thought maybe I should put them on sale
How lucky I am
I got food stamps: Hot damn!
I made up my mind
to be decent and kind
to let my upright character shine
I sent 10,000 food stamps
back to the President (and his beautiful wife)
and I can't pay the rent
but I sent 10,000 food stamps
back to the President (and his beautiful wife)
how lucky I am
hot damn
They made a mistake
for Chrissake
And I gave it away to the President
I thought that was legal I thought that was kind
and I can't pay the rent
but I sent 10,000 food stamps
back back back to the President
so hot so hot so hot so what
so hot so what so hot so hot
Trucks cruisin’ down the avenue
carrying nuclear garbage right next to you
and it's legal
it's radioaction ridin' like a regal
load of jewels
past the bars the cruel
school house and the church and if
the trucks wipeout or crash
or even lurch too hard around a corner
we will just be goners
and it's legal
it’s radioaction ridin’ regal
through the skittery city street
and don't be jittery
because it’s legal
radioaction ridin’ the road
Avenue A Avenue B Avenue C Avenue D
Avenue of the Americas
so hot so hot so hot so what
so hot so what so hot so hot
so hot so hot so hot so what
Thanks, Tony!
