"Memoirs of Horatio Smooth"


  

          

Based on the jist of this piece, if anybody wants to develop their own characters to interact w/ this dude, cool. we can turn this into something ill.

Memoirs of Horatio Smooth


My wings will never catch fire
My eyes will never die
My mind will always conquer
My lies will always hide

For I Am
Smooth black brown marmalade brother
With thangs to do

I have various degrees
Tellin' white people
I know what I'm talking about
Telling black people
I'm too busy to talk

I Am Horatio Smooth

My ride costs more than you
As it shines and shimmers
And glistens in the mist
Of tradewind funk
Sex must have been made for me
For I I I
Am
Horatio Smooth
Groove warrior
Of the horizontal trombone
Trembling lips
Shiver quiver when I deliver
Shudders to make you stutter
And a grind
That makes prostitutes blush
And send me home with a tip

Yes that's right
I
Am your worst fear whitey
An intelligent black man
With thangs to do
Don't you be giving me
No shuck and jive pounds
"brother"
less you got what I got
and vibe to my vibe

I don't have time
To deal with ya'll now, anyway
'cause I'm on a mission
for missionary positions
lying back yellow coated sugahs
and having them sing like yellow canaries
as they draw back
canary yellow colored drapes
and fall off the bed

I am Horatio Smooth

Used to be dat nigguh
Then I was that wanna be
Going to class on time
Now I ain't got love
For either side
Mama white
No fault of mine
Daddy Cool daddy black
Daddy left that nigguh
H
Holding a bag
Not filled
But empty
And as I tried to get work
To do work
To be the man
For my mother

Ya'll Caucasian cats
Tried to kill me
With unemployment
And bullshit
But I learned quick
And here I stand
A grown-assed man
Pick of the kitty litter
And my peacock feathers
Stand unruffled
And ya'll stand there,
Confused

Trying to figure what side I'm on
Well, ya'll helped really well
In that department

I
Chose
Me
Horatio Smooth
Black brown white
Confused dude
Who you made
And let
Become
golden

In response to Reply # 1


  

          

Miss Norma Bloom
Sit down youngin
Let me tell you
I was the one they wanted their mamma to meet
I was
I was
The one they wanted their daddy to see
My grace lit the room
I was Miss Norma Bloom
I could outsmart your grandmammy
With table manners and conversation clique
I was I was
Miss Norma Bloom

Which was also my grandmammy’s name
When she passed on, I stepped into her flame

The Miss Norma Bloom
14 years dancing, you shoulda seen my thighs
modelling since I was born, I had the bluest, bluest eyes
18 years old
and ready for the world
daddy was my bank account
and mommy was my agent
I don’t think anyone won as many “pretty miss” pagents

That’s right, Miss Norma Bloom
No one rocked hot pants like little Miss Norma Bloom
Who
Married for money
To a body like honey
We bore the stars as our children
Like the sun and the moon
We were Walter Dune
and the talented young Miss Norma Bloom

as age hit me
sparkling diamonds could never, never
outshine my eyes

everyday he’d tell me he loved me
and I’d tell him I loved his money

every week he said he luvved me
I replied I needed a new Mercedes

He put our money into shares
Of a beach where
I could brown my body when we went there

One day I walked into the study
Saw him pulling hair
Trying to cry to me how
The beach was underwwater
Silly S.O.B expected me to mop his brow
Stupid ass Walter

Miss Norma Bloom
Was soon the ex
Mrs Nora Dune
See
They forgot my “m”
Because
“M” is for money
so its kinda funny how now I aint got none
kinda like Miss Norma Bloom is dead and gone

Black brown white
Confused dude

i don't know how i feel bout mr. smooth..

i was caught feeling "sorry" for him..angry at him..cheering him on..getting annoyed by his braggin..understanding his confusion...

so the charater is probably as complex as "real" people are...

and isn't that what you strive for creating when you write these sorta pieces?

ppd.--->ddp?--->no--->ppd!---> oh!

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

My name is Cory West.
But I was born in the East
behind the Iron Curtain.
I am a contradiction of your beliefs

for I am
a caucasian man of European descent.
I am easily judged, but hardly evaluated
for my phisycal appearance speaks louder than words.

But I am cursed, because my passion
Is the culture of the streets
And that is not what is expected
from a man of my complection.

I am a traveler, I've crossed
two continents and seven seas
And over years
I've built ideas and beliefs
Of what the world is

Through the eyes of me

I am self-taught,
self-cultured,
self-expressed,
I'm not a pimp, a roughneck or a playa
can't be categorized or labeled.
Language is my passion,
yet i speak with an accent.

Easily blend within a crowd, for I am average
on the outside.
But inside
I'm extraordinary,
So long as you can open up your mind
And let my thought inside.

I always contradict, because I love people
But I hate ignorance.
People ARE ignorant.
So where am I to go?
what am I to do?
I am that cofused dude
But I know
one thing:
its not by your appearnce how I'll be judging you....

Stay strong

word, sounds good to me. It didn't come off quite as what I wanted it to, but I love the concept! Think of something similar, where everyone can interact. Maybe an actual scene with a setting that everyone can approach from their own perspective. I dig this concept, tho.

I M

I dig gold outta ma'shoes tap dance walks
with blue hues of moodyblues and gladness
i reiterate happiness and blind sadness with my stride
i glide

like liquid mercury on solid surfaces
i dance
prance
romance ballroom floors
like pavarotti squeezed tenor-high praises from thick air

I M

Indigo Matthews

undress souls with words
minds with breath
hearts with flesh
and kill death with every mesmorizin

thud

of my BASS
cleft

i'm left
handed when it comes to doin the typical
i'm Atypical kinda bruva
make women feel whimsical wishin on trent darby's well
wrapped in my arms atta broadway musical

Indigo Matthews

I go and dig out f'news
new truths
find roots and sing true blues
swoon u till i dig u till u
become an open treasure box adornin my flesh
measure by measure
with the pleasure
bein ALL yours
with a surplus bein mine...

I M

that memory
that glance
that passion
that "last dance"

that brings a tingle in y'spine

and i'm the smoothest hypertensive idea man with
the hippest catch phrases from yesteryear
i'm fashionably late like that, yeah, that's it..
and i have deals, baby
deals that go fast like..
like they had some kinda damn.. rolling things..
like uh.. you know.. 3d circles.. attached to the bottom
and they'd roll.. damn, i'm a genius
NO LONGER WILL WE HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH HAVING TO PUSH OUR CARS ALONG ON THEIR FLAT BOTTOMS
WE WILL ROLL LIKE GODS OF ALL MOVING THINGS
wuzzat? ah, yes. late again.
if i had a dime for every time that happened..
always coming up with these brilliant schemes like uh..
if i could just combat evil.. on a saturday morning cartoon show..
yeah, but i'd need threads for that..
like.. white robes, that's pretty uh.. yeah.. symbolizing purity in western culture, and we ARE in the western hemisphere right?
yeah, i knew that.. i just uh.. yeah, checking with you.
testing you, even.
so yeah.. then i'd need a power..
but not a violent power, because you know..
marketing appeal, kid tested, mother approved..
so, i'd just uh.. tell everybody to love one another..
or some shit like that..
but i'd need some sort of cliff hanger for a season finale..
like uh.. the bad guys have me uh.. hanging up off of a closet door, and then i pass out from loss of air to my brain..
and then they hide my body in the closet and lock the door, thinking i'm dead..
and then my sidekick, lazy russel, gets me out of there
and we go to try and find some eggs with a giant rabbit
for no damn reason.. kids love that stuff
what? what do you mean, christians won't like it?

22. "what about me? othello jones speaks"
In response to Reply # 21


          

they call me othello jones
the whitest cat u've seen
i grew up in chicago
cabrini green
albino by birth
and my white white hair's usually under a ballcap
and my pink eyes are behind lenses
so u might think that i'm all that
but rewind for a minute to get my bio:
i grew up in
the place that thugs drove through fast
and i learned to fight way too early
seems that soon as my pops saw my hue
he mumbled somethin bout a boy named sue
some ol johnny cash song that he knew
and since he wasn't gonna be around
he figgered i better learn to fight on my own--
and so he gave the whitest kid he knew
the name othello, last name jones.
and i get by i get by i get
bye bye blackbird was the tune i whistled back in 1980
and i whistled cuz i never sang
i never sang
i never sang for my father
the audience of zero
and to younger bucks i became the local hero
cuz i was pumped up and ready to regulate our project
kinda like being the most noble inmate on the cellblock
the great white hope
except my great hope was not to be white
so othello jones played superman
while feeling more like clark kent
and knowing that with his fair complexion
he'd never take a walk down lois lane
i came to chicago with powers and abilities
the same as mortal men
and my weakness was not kryptonite
or the crips tonight
but the fact that i'm just too white
to be wanted
except as a reluctant icon
a freak of the neighborhood
but at least i'm the neighborhood's freak.
and i annoy the fk outta my sister
when i buy my nephew coloring books
of the incredible hulk
and together we throw away the green crayons
and we color that hulk
that reluctant savior
that misunderstood frankenstein monster
that noble savage
pink like me
pink like me
pink like me

In response to Reply # 25


  

          

We can take each character and do our own "The Ave" poetically, colaborating short pieces with each other to create this whole neighborhood vibe. I am so glad everybody came together on this. This is the type of board camaraderie we need. Get at me if ya'll dig this idea.

28. "LAZY AFTERNOON (Cory's Saturday)"
In response to Reply # 27


  

          

This is kinda long, but I think its worth a read. Even though not really a focused piece, I think a good opener for other ideas.



Yes, its a lazy afternoon
I would still be sleeping if
not
for my sis:
"Cory, get up!"
and
"Cory, you still sleeping?"
and
"Cory, get your ass to the store!"
- yawn -
oh well
I put my clothes on and stumble
out the door

and thats when the sun hit me
with heat
and with light
light wind
more like a subtle breeze
that smells like magnolia with a hint
of ocean
And the sky is deep
and flawless
cyene mixed with navy blue
and my ears are hearing
kids playing and giggling
on the street and
somewhere in the distance, a Latin beat.

What was that I had to get at the store?
Oh yeah, some cereal, milk and bread
I put my car keys in my pocket
I think I'll walk today instead
On my way
I stop and say
hi
to miss Norma Bloom
who is smiling
on the bench with her lady friend in the shade.
And that dude
Othello
is sitting on the stoop
looking up lazily
listening to Jerry
Jerry F? is that his name?
He's telling othello about the other day
and it sounds funny, he's talking about
three girls and how he got played
cause he thought he was gonna get laid
hope he tells me this story later on in the day.
Oh, and I see these other two play
dominos.
its
Willie D and Indigo.
I walk over to watch their game
"Go fish!" Willie say
Cigar stubbs in the ashtray
I spot a bottle of E&J.
Oh well, I gotta go now

I hit the market, get the products and walk out
Stop in the doorway
turn around
pick up a notepad and a Bic
take an alternative route through the park
sit down on the bench and think
then write it down.
I see Horatio sitting down
I seen him around.
I heard he's into writing
so am I

Stay strong

it was
one friday
three saturdays ago when this
amaretto creamed mutherfucker was
leanin up on this
leather leather ride waitin
by the train for a woman

maybe it's crazy but i i i
feelin my red dress graze my ass
like summer breeze kisses and feelin
cool and sweet and
suddenly hot
met up with a man
so smooth he
named himself
smooth
so sexy he
defined sexy
granted curves to his car
and blessed the curves of my
thighs with his growin brown eyes i
said smooth let me bless your
passenger seat, let me
be the skin that soaks up your
tibeten massage lotion
lemme be the swollen soft
that meets the curly hairs of your
milky chest, lemme
bask in the powers
that be horatio

Jus a little touch up every nah and then


Still in a block--sorry. This is what came out!

43. "manulito smith"
In response to Reply # 0


          

i apologize if this is subpar
but this life i lead so far
is unimportant

im confused of they way i should be
looking in the mirror i dont recognize me
cause what others see are diffrent drasticly

if i dont know anybetter so im a bastard
ive been told i have lenage of the "masters"
with spanish looks and dark skin

just another confused child
livein in barrios can be wild
for the mut down the street

the whites look at me strange
and cause my past to rearrange
cause they treat me like im not one of them

so i clame the spanish part of me situations
even though im part white through my mothers "relations"
because they are the only ones who will accept me

so i get called generic mexican
i dont speek the language and have no accent man
but still the accept me

so i go through exsitance with a smile
and a secret that ive know for a while
im completely niave to the world around me

so wit the confusion in my brain
i step out into the reain
to introduce the world a mut of a child

and in a world thats "equal"
they just wirte the sequal
to the delusion of a half bread kid

so i leave this place for higher ground
and the tranqulitty of the sound
of my people who forget my last name and only know me as manulito

and i can be found spittin jive down on
Avenue 5.

53. "othello's confessions (in a confused steelo)"
In response to Reply # 44


          

so there i was on the stoop with my nephew lil' scoop
(or at least that's what he's deemed cuz he digs icecream)
and we're coloring in his books.
when i hear this voice from down the block that sent me into shock
and i look up to see this head-wrapped queen step to the scene
and she's giving me funny looks
now i'm used to being stared at cuz i've gotta be the whitest cat
in the neighborhood here and it's a little scary--(oh, i forgot abt jerry--
but he's a few cents short of a buck and really down on his luck)
but now i apologize for digression.
she stops her song to look at me--she's really got her hooks in me
by now and i'm feeling kinda funny...i mean, she's noticing my facials and i don't think interracial
relationships were what she was suggestin'.
she looks at my nephew and says hello, i say, "hi, i'm othello--"
and she winks an eye at me (see i think she gets the irony)
and she asks me if i want to get a drink.
she sings out her name, a voice straight from the african plains
with a confidence and demeanor that make me want to meet her
but i feel that i might still be too pink.
later that evening after scoops back with my sister i meet up with sakani and tell her that i missed her
i'm not trying to be an asshole nor am i trying to play the mack role
but truth is i haven't dated in a while
so i give her a piece i wrote that i think's nice just to break the ice
and she's sipping on her cocktail reading my poetic block tale
and i see her break out into a smile.
she asks if i rock the mic or if i simply write
and i hesitate as i give a reply that is perhaps a little sly
but i tell her i'm a po-em-cee.
one drink leads to one more, and soon she's looking at the door
and i'm feeling social tensions but i don't know her intentions
until she sings out, "baybee go with me."
and we went back to her place since it was right around the way
and we listened to old school otis redding and the moment i was dreading
was when she asked if i wanted to stay the night.
i said i don't understand i mean yes, yr a woman i'm a man
but i don't feel that how i appear might have ran u off in fear
and she said "we're the same, child, when i hit the light"...

postscript: i haven't seen sakani in a while and i hear she has a child
and part of me wonders if its my seed
for the night produced a progeny i want him or her to be proud of me
and i wanna be the father that they need...

54. "Iris B. Brown"
In response to Reply # 50


  

          

here she be, miss Iris B... okay, i cut it down a LOT, but it's still long as hell, and i 'pologize for that...

Iris B. Brown


I am
Iris B. Brown
and some folk be thankin’
that i ain’t down
but i am

i’m a bright southern girl
introduced to this world
in late april of ‘82
donned my mama’s hips at an early age
and filled the soulful space where pops shoulda been with rage
i never had a thang for pale almonds with legs
so i planted myself north of the mason-dixon
in search of a more colorful scene
yeah, i still got a little south in my mouth
but i finally found my heart in the Phillys and NYCs--
seems it was awaitin me in yankee territory
all the time
so here i am
southern belle planted in an urban hell
and lovin every minute of it

lady justice is blind
cause i stole her glasses
with hands i have yet to grow in to
these hands...
see these hands?
i took these hands and taught myself
to play Beethoven’s Fur Elise
taught Picasso how to paint a masterpiece
then i built my peoples pyraminds
amidst the weeping spirits
of the Nile
with these hands

maybe these hands
are a little too old
for the rest of me

that could be why folk think
young Iris Brown
ain’t down
but i am

mirrors became my enemy
about a year ago
when i was just 18
cause it seems
i’ve been cursed
with a smile that calls
men from miles
and oddly enuff, makes sistas frown
whenever i come around
not at me,
but at the high yella bitch they perceive me to be
my face don’t fit my personality
honestly
but folk don’t listen
when i try to explain
so i sit
quiet
and smilin just the same


I’m Iris B.
my irises be brown as bronzed cinnamon
and
sweet as a milky chocolate prayer
i’m the window to my generation’s soul:
i don’t say much
but see everything
i’m so quiet
folk be thankin’ somethin’s wrong
say i better get loud
or life’ll pass me by like a song
but
i’d rather take it verse by verse
and i’d invite you to sing along
but only i know the words
and i ain’t quick to whisper my lyrical lines
to just any ol’ body...
i don’t hear the “hey, shorty”s
of men in their forties
i keep walking
i ignore the “yo, redbone”s
of cats on their way home
i keep walking
and i just hate to see a man on his knees
talkin bout “hey baby... please, baby... baby, please...”
i just keep on walking

and folk wonder why
i’m so tired all the time...

i’ve been called evrythang
from stuck up and seditty
to bright yella bougie bitch
i don’t get mad
cause they might be right
and i’ll be that if need be
cause i’m too good to fight
so
i stay grounded and carry myself as an empress
high Yoruba priestess
magical musical mistress
naive to the naked eye
but to the trained, a ruthless seductress...

see
most cats think
iris brown
ain’t down
but
i am...

soothing vibes rise from my thighs
evrytime i arise to walk
and when they talk
brothas listen
hopin to audition
for a role in my play
no rehearsal dates, brotha
do it right the first time
or don’t do it at all

i sit high on my throne
behind an armored glass wall
watchin cats try to crawl their way over the top
askin if i got the time
i look at ‘em, smile at ‘em and throw ‘em my watch
cause that’s all i’m willin to give ‘em

i don’t give it up so
maybe that’s why they think
Iris Brown
ain’t down
but
i am

i am

i am Iris B. Brown
the hip twitchin
soul listenin
corn fed
country bred
sun settin’
moon callin’ diva
sweet buttered ebony goddess
chosen child of the wind
and through eyes as brown as sepia stars
i can call you to me
and keep you at bay
all in the same glance

yeah, go ‘head and think
Iris Brown
ain’t down...

life has left me craving sisterhood
and needing a man’s touch
but
life has taught me
that sistas don’t want you
if you’re easy on the eyes
and brothas only want you
when they want somethin
so
i’m like some kinda
tragic urban pocahontas
abandoned by her tribe...
folk say the way back in
is to let out a war cry
but i don’t wanna disturb the waters
so
i just keep still
and i’ll stay this way
til the right boat comes passin through
but don’t be fooled
the seductress is watchin you...

see
yall be thankin
Iris Brown
ain’t down
but i am

i am

i am
Iris
B.
Brown.


**p.s. - thanks, B!!

Damn i hate waiting

Do i'll practice my copeira and spin until i'm dizzy
i'll just spin until i'm dizzy and
then i think i'll make the sun go down.

Beatbox cypha interludes i be eluding
Cats that wanna place me on my back
i'm so tired of all that.
Cuz i be that peppermint scented dipped in
Honey Man Gos on and on about.

I'm his Queen to be but i dont be hearing that
cuz i got a mission to complete.
Gotta make the world safe for my baby
i'll be Queen some other day but for
this day i be Warrioress.

Makin war on cats that try to invade my space
i be moving thru time only to find
i was early so i'll wait like i'm waiting now
shit i just might head on ova ta Cory's.......
