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,...

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.

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

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!
