Two Basquiats
Anna Montgomery

I was sitting in a room and I looked up to see

Jean-Michele Basquiat looking back at me

The beautiful King in a second hand suit

Feet planted firm through the holes in his shoes


There he sat in an old wooden chair

He shyly played with the dreads in his hair

Then someone burst through the door with a slam

It was a second Basquiat with his head in his hands

2 Basquiats in the room with me...


Jean Michele II wore the weight of his rage

He paced through the room like a lion in a cage

Grumbling about some existential war

Convinced that surely he had fallen short


But the one in the chair, he spoke calmly and sweet

Reached out to his twin to take a load off his feet

He rubbed on his back and he gave him a squeeze

And tried his very best to put the worried one at ease

2 Basquiats in the room with me...


There are 2 beats in every heart

The one that's light and the one heavy

There are 2 sides to every man

The one that can and the one that can't just be

There are 2 Basquiat's in the room with me...


The second Basquiat he jumped up with a bolt

He was ever more angry that he couldn't be consoled

Then King Basquiat shrugged his shoulders and grinned

I guess some people gotta have a reason to live

2 Basquiats in the room with me...


There are 2 beats in every heart

The one that's light and the one heavy

There are 2 sides to every man

The one that can and the one that can't just be

There are 2 Basquiat's in the room with me
