Brixton Snow
1992, Brixton Prison, a golden dreadlock Snowy, plays his position, cooling in his cell and watching some television.
He walks with a limp through the wing, his boat bares a grin, and they say, "Have you got a pebble in your shoe and ting?"
Sporting circle sunglasses just like John Lennon, they cover his mince-pies, he is one fly felon.
He was a ragga MC, and he spat pure Patois. He didn't make generic hip hop, like your average rapper.
Now he is released from the shovel and pick, he's got his eyes on the prize, so he won't miss a trick! ...

Azuls de Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon Blues)
Azuls de Barrancas del Cobre
(Copper Canyon Blues)
Dusty Chihuahua desolation
At lonely train depot
Desert crossroads for rail journey
Arrival
Copper Canyon is cantina calypso drums
On the slopes of the valley spirit
and the manger in a holy hostel
is a bunk bed for my blue traveler soul
Where a feminine voice sings from above
A rosary in Spanish timbre
As I sink into a paradise of lullabies
To her novena nirvana
When the sun returns like a prodigal son ...

Entangled
THE GRAND MILLENNIUM CONDOMINIUMS
Manhattan, New York
Upper West Side
Marcus lifted the saturated loofah and wrung it over Zaniyah’s shoulder blade.
The soapy water droplets slid down her skin.
Marcus pulled Zaniyah back against his chest.
“Baby, let me ask you a question.”
Zaniyah pivoted her head upward.
“Yes.”
“And answer me honesty, strictly off the record.”
“Would you just ask me the question handsome?”

That Bitch (The Nun Runner Series Part IV)
Upper Eastside
New York
Ring ring…
Opening my eyes to my cell phone bird tone morning sing
Yeah, and who the fuck is this!
Disturbing my beauty sleep this shit best be legit
You got one up on me and that’s only because you’re a dick
My Queen we got some problems coming our way
I do not know how you got this phone number, lick my cunt and have a ride or die day

Ghost
Is she telling me, I have to pay more to get her dude’s business
Hang on sexy, stand down, it’s too many witnesses
And? Gee, hold my shades, let me correct this twisted babe
You better take off those fake ass glasses and recognize
I’m coming at you with a Glock and then I’ll fuck you with my Colt Forty-Five
Stepping out the sand box like you the real shit
You fucking weave wearing bitch
I will fuck you up and then paper...

You About To Get Served And Straight Dealt (Ghosting That Ass IV Of V)
My Queen, the Mexican Cartel want a sit down meeting with you
Nobody wants an all out war in the streets between the crews

You a fake ass Queen where you stand
I blocked your two cent ass because you came off as a man
No time to play with a slutty cunt with kids.. let the shit be real
Yeah I’m assassinating your family like a oath I took from being a Navy Seal

The only result from that is your blood rushing down your throat you drinking

All The Queen’s Men
Sugar Hill Estates
NoHo Manhattan
My Queen how does it feel to be legit
You know I never did eat where I sit when I piss
Send word out to the Cartels
Come correct with that pure cut, or I will send them all to hell
Make sure you strap up
Those boy’s toys are hard cut
And I need my crew’s eyes when we float down in the dirty South
Shoot anyone who gives you any mouth
Gee, who do we know in those parts we can trust
My Queen, no one, the last time, we thought we were on the up and up, you...

187 (The Nun Runner Series VI)
You want some of this smoke… yeah I’m the one doing the puffing
I will blow smoke up your ass and leave you huffing
No, my sista I don’t get down with cunts I cannot wax
Hold this bitch still while I break her legs with my autographed Sammie Sosa baseball bat
Your dumb ass done confused the tigeress with the cat
Coming all up to my table popping yang
If you aint dined on Beluga Sturgeon Caviar and know how to apply pain
Then bitch you can’t even say my name
This is a rich game and not for the wanna be gangsta bitches
And death to all the...

To Dream The Impossible Dream (Little Rock Arkansas)
Bathe my mind with wisdom
Cleanse my naked soul in truth
Guide the freedom of my spirit to the hereafter
My footprints marked, engraved
The path of my journey has already been paved
The sweetest tidal wave of time washed upon the sands of time
Joyfulness resonating oh thy sweet whispers
Stealing layers of me from birth, my Strawman's account, bankrupt, denied wealth
Sheds of me left, by chains confining blistered feet upon plantation back welts
Mirror mirror on the wall
Protect my reflection from...

The f**kins
Watching river traffic on the Willamette was soothing. Tugboats leading mighty cargo ships. Fireboats with their high-reaching water plumes. Bedecked sailboats with flickering lights during the Christmas season. My favorite boat had a timed sequence of Santa skiing down a hill. All of this was right outside my window or viewed leisurely from my balcony. True, the complex was just starting to go to seed, remodeled some years later as pricey waterfront condos.
It was one of the best places I've ever lived. Close to downtown Portland, across the street from Union Station. From my...
