PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

From Charlotte, take Interstate 85 approximately 3 1/2 hours

    south until you reach the grand Southern metropolis of

                            Atlanta.

      At this point, continue driving on I-85 as you carve

         your way through suburban Gwinnett County,

                pace by the commerical retail valley of

                            DeKalb County,

                    meander the crest of skyscraper frontier

                      land which is Downtown, then aggressively

                         veer pass hell-raising traffic to

                            switch over into the Interstate

                              20 West turning lane.

  By now, you should be cruising the freeway of the old

   industrial Atlanta...but you don't have time to sight-see,  

     because your exit is coming up very soon at Lowery Blvd.

              As you sit at that light on Lowery Blvd,

            wondering why you've followed my directions

             to the God-foresaken "Crackhead" End - I

           meant...The West End, make a right down Lowery

             Blvd until you reach yet another light.

        When it turns green, proceed down into a roundabout

      that swerves you into...TAHDAH!!!...Morehouse College!

     Don't you feel priviledged to be driving down the most

    infamous stretch of HBCU pavement?!

                          A N Y W A Y ! ! !

             This stretch is Westview Drive and you've

          just passed by King's Chapel, went over a speed

        bump, and made a right through two non-intimidating

       gates. BE PATIENT! You're almost there!! Stay on this

           narrow road...then make a quick left into that

              parking lot behind the Freshman Quad of

                       residential buildings.

Park your car,

walk that winding trail to that dorm in the back known as LLC.

  Enter the residence hall,

    climb two flights of stairs,

     beat through the testosterone mayhem of the 2nd floor,

       and make your way to Room 220.

              STOP RIGHT HERE! because this is where I make

            the transition from all-knowing speaker to the

           young free-spirit that I am...who has been

          waiting FOR YOU.

        Come into my room, my roommate is gone for the weekend,

         and make that symbolic walk into my world filled

          with adrenaline rushs,

                college term papers,

                  and a new addition...you.

   Kiss me...NO! Let your tongue moisten my tongue while both

          sets of our pupils stare into our brownstone irises

            and connect us through some unknown force inside

              of us that you like to associate with

                astrological signs.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully made that journey from

               my old home in Charlotte to my new home here

              at Morehouse College to find a free-spirit in

             me to.......you know what....lets drive to your

               house in Decatur - on the otherside of Atlanta-

                 to see how things evolve from here.
