Stevie Wonder's Sunshine
expectant hush
hands on the keyboard
reggae beat
You Are the
Sunshine of My Life
dreadlocks
swinging
he rocks
to the rhythm
harmonica-playing
human metronome
seventeen thousand people
dancing in the aisles
clapping so hard
our palms are on fire
don't go yet
one more
encore
and we see Stevie feels it
radiating the stadium
and we feel Stevie sees it
through his dark glasses
sunshine of
reflected
love
