83846, yeah they manage to edge in~thats it though
Posted by Ezzsential, Sat Dec-05-09 02:02 PM
The sun needed a break, basked itself into the ocean
the merry go round and horses spinning at the same time
music played through the chimes of the wind blowing west
blast through the air natural disaster
everything is changing global warming
the ice glaciers cascade down like a waterfall prism reflections of rainbows rotate into the flecks of my eye

things are changing?
i ask as im standing and that terminator 2 nuclear bomb explosion
scene the park kids playing slow motion

why try?
i sit in the same position almost frozen everything moving around me
bomb threats and world issues the gross domestic product and conspiracy
news broadcasts
subway squeeks and podcasts wreek of new technology stench
anime and flat screen tvs
action thriller movies

dumbfounded in the midst of those embarrasing thoughts turn the applets of my cheeks shades of pink and red

suddenly im in a marsh covered in willows sticking to me from dewy skin
sun reflections of my curls
spinning in circles like when i was little
hammocks blowing in the wind
ready to take a nap with my dog
or walking across that brook over a log losing balance

back to that nonchalant
smoke filled bar
tripping and hearing those barely breathing laughs
wearing stained teeshirts
too trashy
i exempt myself
to stilettos long fingernails
and sleek luxury cars
rhinestone filled cellphones
and it was too superficial

so its back to poetry

that fifth ammendment shyt
college classics and deep discussions
until i get bored again

and decide to go somewhere else

i'll be back

This felt like home, and it feels like something I've been telling to myself a lot lately. I feel like we're all on some universal brainwave here... not to get too crazy with the analogies. I liked this piece a helluva lot, and unlike the other one of yours I posted on earlier, I really connected with this.

Well written, friend.

Please X~cuse us lazy, sleepy ass ppl ... We be sleepin' fa sho'


It's like: Things be changing / for better or for worse / but ain't a damn thang any ONE of us can do (by ourselves) / so do we get involved innnna "MOVEMENT" to make change happen in our defense / or do we fall by da wayside and get our bling~bling on / with our everyday petty issues / and just live life in our little neck a' da' woods / WATCHING CHANGE HAPPEN / for or against us?!?!?

Great piece overall. Loved these lines most...
