Last call for poems 10.9.2022 4:38 am

Last call for poems Church starts in six hours Confessing these priestly birth pangs Failed to keep thy word Why make a promise you may not reap Under a whole heap of pressure Leaping over mislabeled obligations Crawling into our carved out hollow holes Safe spaces of serenity Equivalent to sanctuary showers without end Further drying out our crocodile cracked skin Pores telling tall…

Try to be funny

Not too crazy

Her name is Andy

Is she really a lady

Oh sheeet

She enjoys Thundercat

Been listening to Drunk a lot recently

Also plays Gin Rummy

I’m in love

I’ve found my second wife

MAYBE

I’m not much of a mountain climber

But we both like to ride bikes

I’ll introduce her to trap yoga

Slowly educate…

#shhh

My fam is dysfunctional as fuck

But you’d never know from the outside lookin’ in

I’m just waitin’ for the day

When we can all be honest

Errrbody quits hidin’

Boldly sharin’ deez secrets

I personally think

That’s the only way

We can each find true healin’

Transparency is

A dyin’ art

I get it

There are certain parts of me

I still struggle to share

Surprisingly

The only reason really

Cuz I’m worried

#bettaman

This is the life you chose

Don’t go cryin’ now

Regrettin’

Remember

You refused to be her

Bettaman

All you had to do

Is follow all her rules

Be Preston

Proudly play dat tambourine

Wearin’ dat monkey suit as Mister

Bettaman

But naw

You had to break dat lease

Quit job after job

Let go of dat damn leash

Don’t you feel

Betta…man

The Cure

If I had the cure for a broken heart

I’d mix it in a tumbler of Crown

Bottle it in Unforgivable

Package it in a box of Ruby cloves

List the directions in Raheem DeVaughn lyrics

Say the side effects in French

Sell it for a quarter in Kum N Go bathrooms

Advertise it behind a homeless romantic

Resting and writing on a faded park bench

Freddie’s Dead

I have a close friend named Fred

He caught his wife

With another man

In his own bed

Honestly

One of these three

Should probably be

Dead

Daydreaming

12.11.2018

I want to be the greatest writer of all time

I want to be married again

Nawww

Funk thot

I want to buy my family a home in 2019

I want to be a billionaire

I want to help people in my life

Provide opportunities to be an entrepreneur

I want to be a full-time entrepreneur

I want to home school my kids

I want my kids to start their own businesses
