  1. The man said freestyle,
    but we had no street and no corner,
    empty boots with no socks and no beatbox,
    hollow bones with no brains;
    sackless wonders, leaking talent and
    waiting for skirts.

    then years passed
    in the race of the egg timer
    against avalanches of boredom
    and we aged smoothly, politicians of the flesh
    on a ride to rejuvenation through lies and vulva

    Before the end,
    we wrote our confessions
    on thick pages.
    Nobody would say that we had a napkin life.

    Pokin’ outta his skin
    Hoit like crazy

    They chop mo’ of da foot oh yeah
    He got the chop foot blues
    You wanna hop away
    From dose chop foot blues

    Woikin’ at da museum
    And one day dose bones
    Gonna poke out agin

    Don’t want the chop foot blues, no no
    Don’t need the chop foot blues
    You wanna limp away
    From dose chop foot blues

    So til da bones poke out
    He gonna do his thing

    You want to crawl away
    From dose chop foot blues

  3. Cryptic and scary, in that order
    agreeing to be wary
    aggrieving to even try
    solo in Show-Lo
    waiting for a fire
    on a cold desert moon
    waiting for a light in the sky
    just bubble of heat
    to light,
    my anger fuel
