I don't know why I keep reviving this machine
I don't know why I keep breathing life into this machine
I promise I wouldn't pick a bad fruit
I promise I wouldn't expect you to eat rot
I promise we will wilt together
I promise someone will undo our work
I promise it doesn't mean a thing
I promise the magic lies in that this is nothing
That it is spawned from the empty
'Hey chosen one' i hear them say
Tomorrow lethal injection
twelve die at eight
I know the significance of spelling numbers
I feel the electricity in my spine
when i think of slicing the wind
and stealing the song it sings
I love to read how you talk back
how you steal abstract
and make it absolute fact
I'm insecure I'm sorry
I love the way i wrote this to you
I love your significance and that you are special
I love that poets are especially talented
at making stuff up
That like the blues. Shines.
I love that here we are wealthy beyond measure
in terms of funk and Jazz
And they can only look in
Shaolin.
I love that his song is perfect
and that he stole his tongue from god.
That I bought mine burnt
Champion sound
I snatch ions instantly
and gorilla the background like the streets are talking
cold cement slabs have reached their peak
destiny in Mozambique , some shit i won't say
"if it makes you feel better"
fields of letters still glistening
I should tell you more about tomorrow.

i dont know what to say
i just want to read it over and over
there's a beat blaring from the radio and im trying to rap
40 years old and im trying to rap
and fuck if im not feeling it
Very nice!
I have a friend who wishes that the human race had been derived from wolves instead of apes. Personally, I would have chosen something that can fly :)
I really like you poetry!
...and we just chill
as we hear the wind blowing
we will be flying anyway_
54 years old and still impressed.
spanking stuff.
