POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am the awakening of what shouldn't be. I am just a glimpse of the future.
The weight of silence
Made from flipping the script and overpaid dues / Maybe some illicit spit too / Do what fits you. Swim in it. Get righteous with it. / Longest nights come first / Jiu Jitsu, women, writing, putting in work / Primal bursts / Berserk serves the urges to the essence / Purge the malcontents / Observe the incalculable bits / Murder the alphabet from A to Zoso / Spraycans that pray Padre Nostro / Improv flow to blow open what doesn’t show / Snowblind from inner scope / When angels moan I hear the dimmer notes / Haunted mansions and dinners with ghosts / Provoking Schroedingers probability cloud /...

World Words
Crawling through the hardest bits / Just to model gnarly quips / The calling of every artist / The falling moment of darkness / Berserk spitting that nerd shit / Acerbic rhymes / Observing the furtive shine / From merging murderous times / Verse delivers the silver lining / Dirty minding the slow grinding / Aligning up / Mining truculence / Fucking stumble-bum pundits / With their 70’s movie explanations of how the world works / Blurred jerky cursed vision / Clinging to decisions / King Magician Warrior Lover / Slinging hymns / Made torrid when re-discovered / Motherfucker of revolving lore /...

Moving Pictures
Slippery when moving / American history immortalized an illusion / Word to Organized Konfusion / Aluminum shampoo users / Filtering the news / Just to pilfer the views / Divide and replay every particle / Finding Keyser Soze in every article / Shards of rhetoric / Art of some better shit / Whatever flips your joy / Confederate toys / Flying colors in the air / Methods foiled / Shuddering despair / The last desperate ploy / Of a man tied to a chair / No lies escape / Third eye gaping to the glare / Placating doesn’t make anything fair

Welcome to Middle Times
Sometimes the best gifts aren’t immediately recognizable. Like if your Secret Santa strolled out of a Stargate portal / Kung Fu Panda Holy Immortal / Meets the Coke bottle Effect / Jiu jitsu like sex / Presents the ultimate incentive for movement / I was lent what no one else was used to / Groove it true / Mindful of my own underlining space / Grime and grace / The kind you can taste / My kind emerges when the world hits the brakes / Blindly untangle handfuls of snakes? / Sure. Sounds like I was making out with Medusa / If that’s what moves ya / Thus spake Zarathustra / I was made when the...

The remake
Before I rhyme I take the time / To find a door within / Mind spinning / Blindfolded between mistress’s thighs and fine linen / Shimmy the angles / Gams that understand an artist’s roll / Entangled particles, distantly humming identical notes / The medical smoke / Theoretical tropes / The “More angelic-than-thou Woke” / From the handful of thinly veiled sex jokes / To beyond the pale where the psychedelica spoke / Details stoked / Hidden trails poke through larks in daydreams / Margins in the mainstream / Hard to call anything crazy when the world gets remade through memes

Grooving on
Mind split from still visiting my highest trip / Citizen Scientist with an addiction to firespitting / So deliver me not to evil but only to depths hidden / Trashy scholar women / The chamber the beast slept in / Visions within / Infinite spin / Myths that stick like Cheshire cat’s grin / Illicitly literate / Breadth of desire / Sets my sights higher / Than a Tibetan monastery fire / Sunset to dawn / Consciousness moves through a lucid marathon / Word is bond, in the end everyone chooses the trip they’re on

Grinding
Steel sharpens steel / No lazing on my heels / The daily maze reveals / Hazy spiels and storms / Baby seals born with a Resting “Club me” Face / Investing in getting above the race / Because: this place / Because hustlers don’t whine; we re-make / Time never did a spit-take / Wit stays awake / Serves me like the crucifix and stake did to Van Helsing / Reading what my hands are telling / Life is Braille so Loki rides the details

Troll Science
Oooh join Generation Next / Regardless of the year you caught breath? / Suspect the experts / And you’re in-tribe invested / Merit badge for each institution discredited / Find the most well-formed mind and aggress that shit / That’s how anti-intellectualism delivers respect / Live by the fist / Metabolic consciousness / Marinate the national conversation in gasoline / Is the brain just a prediction machine? / Algorithm stream in the in between

Year Run
Cattle slapper / Battle rapper / Unmatchable calibre / Vernacular in natural dub-step / Patter captures stacks of subtext / Rapture in firebreath / No rhetoric / Just excessive spit / Impeccable as white lady credit / No edits; word is bond / Unspoken fondue / From satellite view? Everything shows / As a historical signpost / Aligned to a lucid roll / Kindness is beautiful; intelligence is sexy / Klepto-cranium so raw / What if Alexa caught glossolalia? / What befalls after? / Laughter is brain cum / Re-capture where we came from / The same lane, different drum / Same land at year one

Shiny
Everything runs flat / Whether by God’s wrath, Allah’s math or Time’s elapse / Entropy always laughs last / “That was fast.” / I grew up hearing / So mapping the path is what I’m mirroring / Clearing chops / When I get to spitting, clocks stop ticking / As the plot keeps thickening / Liquid prose delivered / Quips in slivers / Quick to spot the silver like I had crow’s eyes / Flowing on the fly like dropping change / I’m Mowgli meets Dr. Strange / Too many arcane shiny rocks in my brain

End of an era
Making my way / No faking fire spray / Gracefully abrasive / At this pace few can relate / Ways that fade away / Arrays of simpler days / Like 90’s dates / That began with throwing dirt up at a window when it’s late / “Here, below!” / Few minutes to mirror Cyrano / How some of us learned to speak, yo / A liquid coat made of crows / Rippling to re-compose / Flowing indiscrete / Ghost feet doing the Wop / Tweet it from the rooftops / Check my cellular clock / Fucking land sharks / Whose closest friends are strangers or enemies / Like you can never really know any— / Why I only roll deep and...

Breathe slowly
The most skilled technicians aren’t cocky / They just appear to be cavalier / Truculent on a whim / Untouchable spin / Flowing like a leaf 🍃 on the wind / Glowing with a touch of luster / Only a fucking buster / Gets divided by what hides inside / Hustlers diversify what rides behind open eyes / Like diversifying enterprise / Strive to pay dues / The obstacle is always the way through / A, E, I, O, U / Murder some alphabet stew / Just to put a curve on what Loki proves / Lucidity dawns / Mah Jong in the form of raw bombs / La do ron ron, la do ron, ron / The truest cyphers move on in...
