he prefers
live music to a patron’s humdrum spheres
Is this permitted? when u are mozart yes
He’s living now? As what? a black rock star
whatever that is.

The passage reads like a fragment of overheard dialogue—part interview, part séance—where “Mozart” becomes a floating signifier for genius, entitlement, and cultural afterlife. The speaker’s incredulous questions (“Is this permitted? … He’s living now?”) collide with a slangy, contemporary voice (“when u are mozart yes”), suggesting how modern culture casually repackages canonical art into celebrity idioms. The final turn—“a black rock star / whatever that is”—exposes both the lure and the inadequacy of such labels: they attempt to translate transcendent musical authority into present-day categories, yet the categories themselves feel unstable or ignorant. The effect is satiric and uneasy, probing who gets to “live” in cultural memory and under what terms.
