RED MEETS RED SOMETIMES
OK. LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT
OK. – WE’RE STANDING HERE, AN’ WE FIND OURSELVES BETWEEN OUR FALLIBLE NATURE AND A BOUYANT SPIRIT OF HOPE.
LIKE WE FOUND A SECRET DECODER RING, STUCK BETWEEN TALL PRARIE GRASSES ON FIRE AND THE AMERICAN GUTTER
- (a. lachance)
OK. LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT
OK. A CITY RUNNIN’ WITH IT’S SCISSORS OUT WILL LEAVE YOU KINDA WEEPY
OK. THE BUS-STOP GLASS LIKE A TARGET FACE
OK. LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE RED IS DRAWN TO RED
an’ if you want something from an audience, you have to give blood to their fantasies
- (m. brando)
an’ every once in a while the whites of your eyes go pop because he was on creep and he knows he shouldn’t have been
it’s like a red Phat Pharm jumpsuit traded up and there’s something in his pocket
an’ i’m not tryin’ to rob you, was jus wandering if you were about to buy groceries
hold on a minute – let me get out of this car an’ at least stand up as tall as you
i’m not even hungry, i jus need gas in that big ol’ car to pick up my babies an’ was wondering if you could cash me out if i bought your food with my EBT
an’ every once in a while, red is drawn to red like your gas tank is
hold on a minute, okay – let me get this straight, you want to follow me around this store while i pick up stuff-s for dinner – an’ you want to swipe your card
an’ every once in a while red meets red an’ the whites of your eyes go pop because maybe you believe him an’ he’s in a tight spot an’ maybe just waiting is worse than waiting while hungry
hold on a minute, okay – let me get this straight, you want to follow me around this store while i pick up stuff-s for dinner – an’ you wanna swipe your card like the idea of hungry mouths to me is supposed to be business
yeah, i’ll EBT twice as much as you pay me out for
hold on a minute, okay – we’ll keep this short an’ just enough to roll a car without rolling over a system like the idea of hungry mouths to me is supposed to be business
an’ the produce at this store is bottom rung, like lack of vitamins, like undernourished mouths is big business an’ clean up on all aisles
12 dollars an’ 81 cent – no double down – Phat Pharm an’ a trinity go triple up – here’s what’s left:
the aisles are clean an’ his babies are good now – they’re good little girls – no waiting an’ no cursing less they have to deal with those ghetto girls whose necks go pop like the whites of your eyes go pop because maybe you believe him an’ he’s in a tight spot an’ maybe just waiting is worse than waiting while hungry
OK. ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER WITH THE ABILITY TO LET SOME PSYCHOLOGY SEEP IN
AN’ IF THIS IS ALL ABOUT A PRINCIPLED RESPONSE TO THE WIDER WORLD, WE ALL NEED A FOUNDATION
OK. REMEMBER, THERE’S A BUREACRACY TO OPPOSABLE THUMBS
12 DOLLARS AN’ 81 CENT. OK
* all of this written while having a few precious moments with my daughter at tower grove park, and speaking with Khalil about never having his ass beat again w/ a full scholarship… – to be continued,; I suppose…
