Uptight
I was riding in the subway last Saturday night
I heard a kid behind me say, "I want to kill!"
And a man said, "Sure but not here"
I got off the subway with two beat up looking oriental women
One had zit scars grinding deep into her face
I got onto the escalator with a bunch of people and ascended into the light
I was standing behind this woman with tight pink pants on
The pants went way up the crack of her ass
I was tempted to pull her pants out of her ass crack
I didn't
She was with a well built preppy guy
Moccasins,...

Philadelphia state of mind I must speak of
Soft and silken Sisterly affection blanketing by some weakening King's love
An addictive inner city of carnal pleasure seeking distractions
An enticing tour to roam deep within the soul, a rapid pulse for private satisfaction
Mm... the turnpike curves of Pennsylvania, nestled between New Jersey and New York
The main dish of butter rum a la carte can be enjoyed without any spoons or forks
Palate dining pleasure catered for three
Swinging balls enjoying...

Passing the Crown
The cool cities
have lost it
Seattle is septic
Portland is paunchy
Denver has dementia
Miami is myopic
Honolulu has a hernia
Phoenix is phucked up
Once homecoming kings and queens
now unfixable with plastic surgery alone
they reminisce about the old days
Soon they'll be startled to find
the uncool kids they teased
wearing the crowns:
Cincinatti
Pittsburgh
Bismark
Not because those cities were born all that
but because of what they are not
Yet.

The Misadventures Underneath the Bridge
A young man walks alone
Shirtless on a hot, muggy night
He's attacked by an older man underneath the Williamsburg Bridge
He thought the guy was going to kill him
Instead he was raped
He can't tell anyone
It's a secret between you, me & him
Don't tell anybody, okay?
He don't need to be stabbed in the rear anymore
He's been fucked dry enough times for me to write a poem about it!

outside the bank of england
you think everyone who works in
the city is a banker, or a hedge fund
investor, whatever that is, but it’s
all rubbish, says the road sweeper

Four for the Road
Four for the Road
I Walpi
Bruja voice of a thousand tears
Takes us to the sky born wheel
Where pueblo wonders through centuries
Upon flower mesa that blossoms love
For children of dusty walls
Whose cast iron dreams
Are a coal stove in a pottery room
With a lady of ancient designs
Whose smile is the murmuring sun
That glimmers through a veil of sand
When her ceramic children
With motifs as sacred as the land
Are too strange for homes of...

$20 Frankie
Frankie is a gurl...
...a wannabe girl...
...very passable!
Without the makeup...
...and very close shave...
...and, of course the fake boobs...
Frankie looks like Elliot Page.
Made up...he looks like Ellen Page!
That's where he got the idea!
Ellen transitioned to Elliot.
Frankie just fakes it!
Convincingly well!
He turns tricks in the alley..
...outside my window...
...and in cars cruising here!
He likes guys!
He loves $$$
Blowjobs only!
Special panties tuck... ...

Buffalo NY Sunday (Parody)
Buffalo NY Sunday
Pleasant Valley Sunday (Parody)
----------------------‐
The kid who raps is down the street
...someone just kicked his ass!
He sang of doing bitches to a...
lady dressed up for mass!
Another Buffalo NY Sunday...
empty houses burning everywhere...
so many burkas that are all the same...
...a ghetto in such disrepair.
Mohammed's wife's a tween -
she's years away from legal vote..
Abdul has just been charged...
for making love...to his goat!

Breathe
A suffocating air
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.

NYC 1963
The studio on 4th Street was the place they needed to be
Hope & determination was in their minds, that they can change society
They were considered the outcasts outside of their community
Songs being created in Greenwich Village that weren't so rare
Strings being strummed by poets, ideas to influence others
It began with Woodie Guthrie and exploded with Bob Dylan
In the evening, the beatniks and the long haired girls came too
Coffee shops heard their words
And when the next day came they took action
The blue collared army
Their eyes &...
