here I come and go
the baggage weighs lots
spitting verses out like they were cabbage
I got living stones in jars and pots…..

I have the oven on
at 350 degrees
to bake the tar out of
some frozen macaroni and cheese

I have rum and some embalming fluid
to set the smog alight
I have gap tooth vixens
bartering a stay for the night

this work is tremendous
in the burden kind of sense
I might feel a little better
if the mediocrity
were not so entirely dense

Im not kicking flags
or tantalizing your inner drama
im not worried about the semicolons
or the pursuant of the comma

if youre out there
misses; I cant be reached
then take these letters down
to where the seam cant be beseeched

goodnigth
spelling is such sweet sorrow
that I take a blackout
and take your word for it
tomorrow

JP, I'm listening to a song by Tupac called Stay True, and that dancing baby along with this song just made me smile and start dancing too

anyhow, I love the poem here Steve
