WITHOUT FURTHER ADO
Somedays I wake up
but I
never was really sleeping
my mind wandering
it's always peepin'
subconsciously
somethin' else
If I had a video camera
in my mind
hooked up for U 2 C
like live talk shows
and real tv
U'd C
Words darting, flying limericks,
puns whisked about
couplets throwing themselves
on top of and into one another
U'd see phrases dancin' 2 rhythms
U'd see similes courtin' haikus
U'd see personifications & figurative language
holdin' sonnets hostage
cuz
they tryin' 2
break free
U C they tryin'
2 make it 2
my mouth
they tryin' 2 b
the 1st verse
conceived,written,rehearsed,& heard
If I had an audio recorder
in my mind
U would hear ever so loudly
but not never so clearly
screaming,shouting,laughing,cryin'
moanin',groanin'
sounds of death & sounds of dyin'
U'd hear the rhymes
flowin' in time
U'd hear images tappin'
and symbols rappin'
U'd hear acrostics
in acoustics
callin' out 2 couplets
cuz they need HELP
cuz metaphors and irony
are yellin' and threatin'
2 take all free writes out
in 4 beats and 2 measures
if they don't
escape from
my mouth
2 b the 1st
that U hear
in your ears
and his ears
and her ears
and their ears
Somedays I wake up
but
never move
my mind....
I'm tryin'
2 grasp its
schizophrenic linguistic hues
I wait 4 thoughts
2 copulate
so I
can formulate
& give birth 2 these
WORDS
that R
NOW
the
1st
2 B SEEN
& NOW
the
1st
2 B HEARD
SO..WITHOUT FURTHER ADO
PLEASE
A WARM ROUND OF APPLAUSE 4 THEM......
