Q&A between Gaylord News reporter Nancy Marie Spears and US Poet Laureate and author Joy Harjo.

A conversation with Joy Harjo

Give me half a reason,
I wouldn’t want to go out of my way.
I don’t think I miss you.
Faces in the wall tell me I’ve got to stay.

They just keep on comin’.
Trying my best to throw this story away,
but the sun keeps shinin’.
All the folks are still sayin they’re still on their way.

Dont think i miss you

Sittin on my ass.
Sittin in this class I
try to be good 
I try to be great but I 
think that it’s too late
I think that I’ve found my fate

Do you hear the word?
They’re sayin’ we’re at the end
The end of the road
I can’t keep off my toes

Found my fate
