I Was listening To Slick Rick

She loves me,

she loves me not…

I don't give a fuck!

Shoot your shot.

Never met you 

Or maybe I did 

Who can tell-  Oh well...

Fuck it,  shoot your 

Shot. Sisters! 

I'm open to the idea of 

speaking in tongues- 

Doing tongue twisters and

making butter batter bitter

better butter makes the batter better.

I dunno I was just listening to

Slick Rick or MC Ricky D-

Or as you may have heard of him as...

Rick Da Ruler!

And with a Tick Tock and you 

don't Stop...

"I cant be your lover!"

Untitled n’ stuff

She is 

Mercurial.

Her whim moves with an alacrity.

It is 

Nebulous 

Like the air

In cotton candy-

It’s barely a whisper

Of an

Anything-

An Apparition, out 

Of thin air.

Thin

Thick

Heir 

To

The first chill of the winter.

Nebulous-

If you know what I mean?

Do you know what I 

mean?

After After Party

 It’s  late getting later

but 

there is enough 

Life at this party 

to

keep

us young.

So many new faces

But more 

Importantly 

The old ones. 

I see her.

There is gonna be an after party-

But lord almighty

I'm lookin forward to the After After Party..

Enough

There is enough art in me to 

fill

a thousand suns.

I never fear 

losing it

for 

It 

is 

I.

My art will live on.

I have no-

Doubt,

Regret,

Children-

My art will live on-

I never had any children of my own.

There were so many women 

who thought that was a bad a idea.

And the one

Crazy enough-

Enough, 

just not enough. 

Teasing-

“Hot enough for you?”

Enough is enough.

There is a mountain high enough,

There is a valley low enough.

I have enough wisdom to 

light up

the moon-

It’s enough for 

Me,

even if I was 

never 

enough for you.

Fair enough?

Alone, leave, enough, well.

Leave well enough alone…

Enough?

Well?

Viking Goth

I guess the best way to describe him

Is like uh, Viking Goth?

I dunno. 

The dude is super tall dressed in black and 

Eyeliner I think…

I dunno it’s like going to a zoo-

And seeing something new

Beard  creepy eye contacts ect 

With eye liner-

He’s trying too hard

I try too, but holy

Fuck!

I’ve never seen one in the wild.

Then again-

at this dive, there is a dude…

Who dresses up in a rainbow body suit 

(Mask the whole bit)

to 

Sing karaoke-

So, I  guess 

Silver medal Viking goth…

You can’t win them all. 

An old song in America

(Part III to A new song in America Series)

an old song

has been sung in America

many reluctant voices
all in
harmony.

the voice
we hear
is our
fear.

an old song after
another.

We sing together,
a choir
of survivors.

We sing,
We must
We must
Yes –
but do we have too?

Oh I Didn't Notice

You are such a part of me,

sometimes- 

I don't realize the extent until I look at the art I've made.

It's there-

and when 

I think 

you 

might 

notice -

 

I get self conscious- 

I get little nervous

and

sentimental. 

But I cant hide it -

Why would I?

If I'm honest these words only exists, in part 

because of you. 

Thank you for the gift 

of you-

the love,

the art, 

the poetry

As a boy, my world 

was much smaller before you.

I don't know what I'm sayin...

except:

I was so lucky to have met 

you-

In Youth

In the Valley

In the Bay

In art

In memory

In friendship

You are safe harbor-

from storms

and 

nightmares.

You are trust.

You are comfort

You are forgiveness

And-

You are happy with 

the woman you love.

I am 

happy for you.

Your loved one was kind to me-

welcoming.

I like her,

she reminds me of someone-

from the cigarettes, 

n' brown skin

right down to the Dickies jacket.

Don't worry- 

I didn't notice the resemblance.

Don't worry

I don't think you have a type.

You sometimes appear in my art, 

my friend,

mostly in memories now-

and everywhere,

where there is faintest smell of sandalwood.

Do not fear 

my intentions with these words-

with these 

words that you can read,

and feel,

they will always be too much.

as I was,

as I am

too much.

We are family,

loved-

safe

still there.

I am happy for you.

I can't hide it -

Why would I?

Next Tues

 

I.

She was, is, was-

A bit of a,

Uh, umm-

(I have it written down somewhere) 

See you next Tuesday 

or Thursday- 

Later.

As,

We, do -

the wave..

Goodbye.

Wave, wave. 

Now surf-

It’s the latest-

The Surfer Stomp-

Dance-

It’s the latest 

Craze

She was a bit, 

Craze, craze

All the Rage.

Latest-

Later-

All the Rage.

A fad.

Super sonic,

The S is for super-

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird it’s a plane…

She was a bit -

A tad -

A pinch -

Sugar and spice.

All the rage.

All of it.

But,

She was a bit.

She was a bit much.

A bit 

Ch ch ch ch

Turn and face the strange.
