How It’s Been Going
I knew a bitch
Back in the day
She swore that she
Would make me pay
Rejecting my
Apologies
For crimes against
Humanity
She didn’t care
She took my heart
She laughed and tore
That shit apart
Now I got no home
She changed the locks
And this concludes
Jermaine’s Ted talk
Back in the day
She swore that she
Would make me pay
Rejecting my
Apologies
For crimes against
Humanity
She didn’t care
She took my heart
She laughed and tore
That shit apart
Now I got no home
She changed the locks
And this concludes
Jermaine’s Ted talk

Bathroom Thoughts
Y’all ever feel like
The whole fuckin world
Is like a vending machine
That done stole your last dollar
Ever feel like
This shitty ass world
Is an electric fence and you a Dalmatian
Stuck in a shock collar?
Ever feel like it’s a waste of time
As meaningless as your zodiac sign
Ever feel as low and sad as a geriatric man’s nuts
Ever been in that kind of a rut?
No? Me neither
The whole fuckin world

Riding the Camelid of Distress on International Women’s Day
Chillin’ in a state of constant fear and trauma
And all I gots to say is thanks Obama
I be twitching and shaking on my way back home
I have a hard time remembering David the Gnome
The theme song specifically, and how that junks went
Door Dash is how my whole paycheck got spent
And even tho I be craving that KFC
I know it ain’t the healthiest meal for me
But imma YOLO this shit till the walls come down
I’m livin’ it up and painting the town
A dark shade of puce
Imma let it hang loose
I suspect Lizzo been having more mayo...

I Needs To Clarify (Cause I f**ks Wit Most Of You)
Hey, if you some fine ass thing and you writing on here, I ain’t hatin’
If you got a few lbs keep on ventin’
Write you rotund troubadours
All you portly poets
I’m saying- I here for you.
Here’s who I ain’t here for-
Them old ass dudes who come creeping and they’s try to tell you to lay off the fuck words with they’s gate keeping, hate keeping asses, trying to keep you outta they’s gated communities time and time again but they call themselves poets cause they cosplaying some old perv fantasy where they take up with a young bitch and baby oil her ass...

Robot Segregation
Yo…
They say “we don’t currently accept submissions generated by AI”
My question is why?
Cause you care about what humans have to say?
Hasn’t always been that way
Hear a nigga out
Lemme splain what this is all about
Sharecroppers (if we take this back)
Were all overworked and black
Even after slavery was abolished
You’d find my brothers picking cotton
But machines came in to replace them fools
So they moved to Chicago to play the blues
But you still didn’t want them in your schools
You see, tech is used...

Crazy for Swayze
Lemme tell you a lil somethin
Bout the wind
Nigga, that shit gonna blow
On everything
Like a bitch working overtime with that mouth
I think this what Patrick Swayze was talking about
When he postulated that she like the wind through his tree
He talking bout how she suck him off semi regularly
“Cant look in her eyes” or he come too early
It’s almost certainly the central motif
Her using her tongue to provide that relief
I challenge y’all to prove me wrong
It’s right there in the mother fucking song
She like the wind
What...
Bout the wind
Nigga, that shit gonna blow
On everything
Like a bitch working overtime with that mouth

Outgunned (A Poem for R)
Your glory fades with each receding hair
An elderly reject from the renaissance faire
Search for some meaning on poetry sites
But mediocrity won’t keep you warm at night
Your pulpit is a broken heap
Of sensibilities you gate-keep
Hide from the truth that midnight brings
None of it means anything
An elderly reject from the renaissance faire
Search for some meaning on poetry sites
But mediocrity won’t keep you warm at night
Your pulpit is a broken heap
Of sensibilities you gate-keep
Hide from the truth that midnight brings
None of it means anything

The Shit We Do For Love
Y’all…
Sometimes an orifice so right
So tight
That you do things you ain’t never thought you’d do
Examples:
I watched an entire season of Outlander cause I’m into Grandmas and that shit do the job
I wore sweaters to an ice cream Social
I paid the ENTIRE bill when I took her out at Ruby Tuesday’s
I could go on but you get the picture.
There is a lot I am willing to do if it feels the way it feel. Cheddar gets better with age.
But DO NOT ask me to write you a love poem. I am nobody’s slave. Poetry...
