Park Hill, Son
My wife sometimes
Jokes that she
Wants me to be a
Bit more polished.
Maybe wear capris
Like rich Italian guys.
Or maybe like a scarf
Or something.
And I say what
I always say.
I'm from Park Hill.

A tattooed body of roses
A taste of honey in a cherry pie
An alibi
A path to no man's land
A world of dark passion
A world of great deception
It is not a caution
It stands in a narrow format
A hollow tree
A bleeding sparrow
A raging storm
Never the server
It is now a pick
To dress that tick
Shadows of past loves
Sink into the stale air
The air is fresh

The Pursuit of Happiness
Humanity is just a blip in the cosmos in the grand scheme of time
According to the Cosmic Calendar, the average years of human life is equivalent to only zero point one sixth of a second

Stand (S.M.B)
Stand unabashed to face the world
That starved you
Refuse to starve
That segregated you
Refuse to be separate
Stand as one unbroken by the world
That judged you
Refuse to live in a box
By standards of others
Live and breathe and know life
Stand as One in the world so that it knows
Your color is its color
Your voice is its voice
Your hearts beat is its heart beat
your life is its life mad or sane
Stand
Touch (Johnny Levy)
This guy mashed my face in with his elbow
When we were playing basketball.
Old cornfed, elbow-swinging suckah.
Old cornfed, elbow-swinging suckah.
I had to get four stitches
