Buckley explained, “I fell in love with the dialect
“Of the American Beauty Negro.”
It was to give his delivery an old time gospel beat
And to turn him into a countercultural hero –

Who fizzed across the firmament utterly possessed
Of a uniquely free spirit to undermine
The stultifying roadblock of gray, fifties America
With his life enhancing sparkle and shine.

An old static language that didn’t say anything anymore
Couldn’t compare with his syncopated bebop beat
Which took the spoken word and transformed it
Through the living poetry of the street.
