The line “one of these days and it won’t be long / look for me baby and I’ll be gone” is definitely in reference to an exact line from Janie in Their Eyes Were Watching God (end of ch12, if anyone cares to check this— ‘some of dese mornin’s and it won’t be long, you gointuh wake up callin’ me and Ah’ll be gone”).
I am reading this book for school and got so excited to have recognized that line haha
