when I'm in my notebook
I'm in my bag
pulling out stuff I forgot I had
a backward K and question mark
both been waiting in the dark
some were seeds I couln't sow
now they're things I finally know

Go. Go. Go.tick tock out of the box breaking the locks running the block you want speed I’ll give you speed no time to breathe no time to bleed no time for the things that we thought we’d need the city is a machine dumping coal in the fire higher and higher wire to wire burning up tires of the old desire spent twenty years waiting on a platform for a ghost wasting the most coast to coast toast to the host of the ultimate lie watch the days fly watch the sky die don't ask why just run outrun the sun outrun the gun outrun the done and dusty memories of everyone who told you to sit still who told you to take the pill who told you to wait for the thrill that never, ever, ever comes hear the drums that’s the pulse in the vein the nerve that complain forget the station forget the train forget the pain forget the rain we’re moving too fast for the ice to freeze ain't got no time to watch it melt on the surface feel the breeze shaking the trees till autumn leaves and winter enters like a... |
SandbagYo, look at the sandbag Just look at the sandbag one single heavy sack of dirt sitting at the gate trying to play hero against a wall of rolling white fate but the water don’t care about your little burlap the water came to take it all in a snap hear that no siren no warning no time to prepare for it Just a hairline fracture in the stone over there a snap a crack then screams drowning out quiet bedtime dreams the sandbag gone down stream in a rush like a sandbag in a hurry a sudden heavy roaring kind of hush like a sound of worry no time to run no time to sandbag the floor when the river is already kicking down the front door you were busy spinning a quiet little life but the flood don't negotiate with the likes of life |
The Judas Metricthe chosen one chosen to betray the masses the savior wearing gold who forgot the lower classes they handed him the mic and they put him on the throne now he sits behind dark glasses laughing at the majority of minorities he used to taste the dirt he used to run the concrete until the last package sold then then the system took control bought his soul and made him turn his back on the block a wolf in shepherds clothing feeding on the flock counting up the silver while the neighborhood sits on cinder blocks the crowds at the gate shouting out his old name but he rearranged the algorithm digitized the game selling out the skin folk for a piece of corporate change leaving every soldier on the green no longer bending the knee targeting the market in a gangsta lean have you ever seen a dreadlock monster pick his fro got his master thinking he speakin' for the sis and bro as if we be slow never that we ain't been listening to boom bap since we been expelled from the pit "the devil's gr... |
Manic Flow (revisited)called to recite one night I stood a trembled voice, nerves showing throat scratchy turning pages in the book was holding, all eyes on me, waiting a few sips from a bottle of spritzer, took a deep breath then I let out a roar, a wounded lion's roar word for word, verbatim every syllable vibrating gripping the sides of the podium, I felt the momentum the crowd went silent I no longer cared who was listening my faucet leaking while rusty pipes knocked behind the walls no longer ashamed of the roaches crawling from the cupboard, falling into the red Solo cup with its ring of beer residue beside an open bag of Doritos the cat was out of the bag the dog was out back, tied to a tree. the mouse was caught in a trap the whole house heard the snap too deep now no turning back the words coming from my mouth cut so deep you could reach in and pull out an organ heavily sedated in a trance, the curtains closed the audience left in stitches from the incision |
