And, lo, in the halls and on the grazing grounds
Of corporate America, the hipsters meander about,
Oblivious to the judgements made on their choice of fads

yo, i
haven’t lost a good friend in a long while
to violence or anything that would be permanent,
but, damn, i feel like i’ve outgrown a few
of my good friends from when we would play war
like death was a distant concern– man, how fast
we grow up when put into a social situation
perpetuated by others and not ourselves, or
maybe i did it myself by not being a bit more
transparent.

i spit wit-out a care if da final product is da best n da world, or if i’m leaving a stream of consciousness that leaves you wondering, “da fuq did i just read?”– nah, i’ll keep goin’ regardless– not goin’ let my life be metered or kept back by a thought of nothin’ more than negativity. my style is positive, but like osmosis, i tend to absorb what’s around me– try not to be permeable, but can’t help it when cats talkin’ about entropy without knowin’ me. can’t cap me at an arbitrary limit set by assumption and not observation, but they’ tryin’ anyway.–

i hope these words find you,
years later,
when you’ve been able to live a life
otherwise reserved for the deserv’ed.

so, i gave up on love
to be with myself/
not something new, no, but
something i owed myself
after being in it for everyone else.

then,
without much warning,
but with all the reasons in the world,
you found me.
i was one smooth dude,
acting like i wasn’t the
most lonely man without you;
you, the most beautiful
of God’s creations, gave me
reason to be happy.

i said, “I love you,”
in a discussion on dinner;
specifically,
you stated you would
ask my Mom
how i like spaghetti prepared.

the way to a man’s heart is
through two things:
the respect of his mother,
and an appreciation for his appetite.

to be sad, to be frustrated,
to be angry, to be reserved
through it all.
