Take a Chance

by Miyeko May

“Who has the hardest verse on No Hands?” Without even thinking about it she responds, “Roscoe, no question?” “Roscoe!?”

She’s right

“If it isn’t fully thought out, with a carefully made and color coded pros and cons list, you’re not doing it.” “A girl makes one pros and cons powerpoint and she never hears the end of it,” I say with a laugh.

“I ain’t never had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me…” Cass sings. I take over after the chorus, singing the first verse. Cass and I go bar for bar with each other, singing along and joking with each other as we sing.

I learned my lesson about betting against you. Now, My money is always on you.
