I'm holding the laptop about to write then say to my self this not right grab a pen start to write say to my self nah not tonight unwrap a granola bar start to nibble mind on banana why are bananas so loud not the bright skin the scent seeping through the peel I'm scent sensitive bleach is kryptonite to me it kills me literally it sickens me it poisons me candles bother me too not the burning the carbon particles that spread when it goes out dust is the worst irritates ears and throat
I got allergies you wouldn't believe it's a risk to breathe sinus problems up the wazoo
what does one do when one sneeze and there's no one there to say "God bless you" it's not that important is it superstition is cultural roots different leaves falling from different branches on different trees what happens after a sneeze is that when a black cat run across your path who has time for irrational beliefs and practices based on fear and in case you're wondering yeah! I been jottin the whole time

The Kinks (Repost)the process straightens the kinks clears away clutter a pathway to think it before you do it through things that are sure to shackle you face down in the mud tackle you what pained and angered you what harmed and dangered you process it through straight to point why the things you do that shackles you  |
Fifty Percent Off (12152025)been trying to piece together a puzzle in my mind searching to find the lost parts the most important ones scrambling through the tangibles the key where is the key the box is locked entrance denied blocked if it's a stage it's a prop found a photo of pop in a afro with apple hat plopped on top I should go find a apple hat take it the gravesite and throw it on top of his tombstone his mind left long before he went home it was hell in the house I wanted out I forgot what I was talking about procrastination must complete the puzzle the doorbells ringing the buzzard the mailman comes early in the morning squeaking mailbox warning thumbing through the news to get to the funnies deciding between Gilligan's Island and Good Times I figured the white folks had a better chance of getting off the island than the black folks had getting out the projects experience is fragments got to get it together |

The Shadows I See (12152025)after summer somber November not like I remember I miss everybody most of all I miss the one I call mama no one told me know one knew on the verge got the urge to write a few to calm the nerve awakening the frontal lobe got to get inside before it close life path nine closed the circle drew the line thought I grew up in hard times grew up to find out thoughts do lie can't trust the mind rythem rymes with win some lose some the ism the idea the wizism I said goodnight to the night owl and the night owl says do you know who you talking to |
Beneath The stained Glass (12152025)enter said the door sit on the couch move to the chair don't get too cozy sitting there take a stroll through the house take a seat at the table stare at the carpet on the floor look up take note of the candelabra dangling from the ceiling ponder if to wander further discover the covers neatly folded in the linen closet see thirteen in the wall length mirror in the hallway remember age 13 then look away see the door on the left to the room peer in the bed the two nightstands the window the chair the television leave go in the kitchen stand on the squares see the brown range the yellow telephone hangs on the wall over the highchair flashback to the fall a year after birth the hurt pain tears held comfort snap back leave out go to the rear of the house see the green grass smell the lawn the bushes the strong rooted tree untrimmed burn tone leaves there it is look over there the garage it's open go in recall the time the smell of old dusty abandoned spider webs when a child turne... |
Bells And A Clapper (12142025)people today holla "BOYCOTT" we tired we fed up we gone "BOYCOTT" we had enough the truth is boycotting is a great sacrifice people today ain't got the guts oomph nor gumption to see it through they can't put down that phone long enough to lift a sign and picket those people in Montgomery Alabama who refused to board the buses demanded equality in a system that their taxes supported had to walk a long way to and fro had to travel miles and miles to go to the store alot of 'em didn't have a automobile they all couldn't carpool some let my granddad tell it some of 'em didn't have shoes people ain't made like that no more people today ain't got what it take to buck the system they can't put that phone down long enough to challenge the racist power structure they gone talk they gone tweet about it on X they gone TikTok up and the YouTube streets and do it for that Gram people today ain't like those people in Birmingham 1963 Project C people today wanna "BOYCOTT" for all the wrong reas... |
Time To Saddle Up (12142025)Learning how to swim is a survival skill, learning how to ride a horse is a wise move. |
The Likes Of Them (12142025)the first black man to become president iconic campaign slogan was "Yes We Can," but he couldn't or should I stick my neck out to say he didn't do for black folk what the man in the red tie is doing for the white folk but we still attach hope to our vote a Poet who spoke and said "they not like us" truth is they don't like us they never did and I doubt they ever will they don't like us so much until we don't like us I don't know why we can't like us why they don't like us beats the hell out of me we can only speculate what motivate them to not like us and treat us like we don't matter the white man is walking around with the constitution stuck to the bottom of his shoe the world had a conniption fit because the black man wore a brown suit I'm only a messenger don't shoot it's enough to make you wanna throw your hands up |
Over The Top (12142025)not long ago people were boycotting unsubscribing cancelling and deleting their Netflix account Netflix turned around and put out The Reckoning damn Netflix that a damn good marketing strategy because enquiring minds want to know what Diddy did the people did what Netflix knew they would do manipulation is a form of witch craft it guides you into a situation where your known reaction serves their purpose out thinking you with every move 21.8 million in the first week that's a lot of clicks and views I can hear the voice of Nina Simone "I put a spell on you" it's like getting caught in a snare that's how a net work I reckon that went over someone's head |
The Wrap (12142025)I don't want to explain why I don't have an explanation for what I done I wouldn't want to explain if I did have one it's not because I ran out of excuses I don't want to drum up a argument attempting to mitigate my case everything's cozy it's sunny I'm cool in the shade no need to sing and dance up a storm |
