    he.

    Fast till 3.

    Its a nice placementFathers love thy daughtersOr an archived statement for when they falter

    And these fathers theyll pray for you

    as you put on heeled shoesas you coat your little girl hands in color

    as you begin to move

    And these fathers theyll pray for you

    as you purse your lips in the mirroras you shade your eye with night

    as the bottle grows clearer

    And these fathersOh these fathers

    Tell you

    Fast till 3 my daughter.

    SpectraCHILDRENTell the children play alongHushed and timbre songs

    Tell the killers strike down fellow manIn the Nam strike down yellow manBut skin now red or least his hands

    Till the metaphor is blood on sand

    So tell me nowWhile young and smugWhere the bodies hung

    But my gun is so heavyAnd you regret meAnd you forget meAnd you correct me

    Our Little War Song Part 1

    This is what its like. In perils of the last boomWe sit close together in somber of last tombIn haunting us together we invoke many cloudsIn mourning of our Lord, in denying that is now

    In passing is this love, so bound by this warIn fever pitched hearts, but hearts do not imploreOr beckon for life, yet beat in remissionOnward swords do strike, in spite of indecision

    Dare we do fall, and night cast her gazeThe bodies in inferno, when upward eyes do blaze

    Concerning lost paradise and practice of armsWe take up our steel to deal a world beyond

    In passing up our fate entirety do callBut in my haste the love or dialogue

  • 7/30/2019 YELLO the Poetry Album

    11/31

    You ask me a number, Lord grant you peaceThe dead answer, but ever so quietly

    In justification of fateMerriment forewarns hateI tried my hand at dueling, in lacking such ambitionYou speak of love, requited in depletion

    And mock against the war I talk to dead corpsesIn dying in my fleet, I recall loves abortionRest well my friends, How I tend the softOnce war depart, so will the heart

    (To be continued)

    White Pills

    These little circlesThey relish the thought of the light sex in the

    afternoonKiss out the LONEAmplify the sounds in the roomDraw out a pain in my stomach

    Dim the lightsDim your hips

    Fade your hair into my dreamsMake you appealingYou are appealingIt tends to be alone

    Make me roam aroundMake me be aloneMake me be alone

    Dim the AtmosphereHaving me waste the afternoon sleeping

    Im having a dreamDont make me wake upIt hurts a lot to wake up

    It feels like Im stirring in my sleepHearing the STIR FRYING

    Smelling nothingStomach hurts

    I taste circles

    Shooting in a Theatre

    There was a shooting in a theatre in Colorado.There is woman on TV talking about the shootingon TV. This one girl who was shot she had a storyof her life. She wanted to become a sportscaster.Now its like I know that this one girl has becomethe face of the shootings. 71 people were shot. Onthe NEWS channel Im watching I see a picture ofpeople embracing.

    I notice that the woman who seems like she isembracing a man on the TV picture shown by theNEWS has a troubled face. I feel guilty and badabout myself because the woman, her face showsso much TRAUMA, PAIN, and SORROW but Inotice something hanging out of her nose. Like abooger, or snot or something. It was this I noticed

    before the full effect of her face.These people were hurt.

    I continue to watch the NEWS.

    I Owe John Hannah Money

    I owe John Hannah money.

  • 7/30/2019 YELLO the Poetry Album

    15/31

    I said Id pay back two months ago

    He has my cell phone number

    He text me everyday asking for his money

    But I wont pay him back

    I come up with excuses in my head

    Why I wont pay John Hannah

    I say to myself

    Hes rich and white

    John Hannah is rich and white

    I say he is going to just use it on marijuana

    John Hannah will use my money on marijuana

    Its best not to answer his text messages

    He tries to make me feel guilty for not answering

    his messages

    I feel guilty a little bit

    Not much.

    Its all kosher, Ill pay him eventually

    I owe John Hannah money.

    The Actress

    Or maybe in and all the sameA fabled tone to solid stateYou see I run along this stage

    Across the plane and in this play

    An actor there, he told me thisNever kiss the one youll miss

    Never hold the one the you love

    And when you fawn, dont call her dove

    But hold this here, when you walkIn swift tide speak and art do talk

    And should we fall, she lift you hereIf you cry, dont shed a tear

    Quake Girls (She Wont Ride Me On, EatBreathe)

    Leather from and on, in forward on

    Call her down from the mount and kill her sonPass on through and side fell you, and the rollingon of eastward noon

    Or the notion, or pass on something dream

    In towered ales drank in midnight seatsOr aged in none and brought on down and we allhear that humbled sound

    My Jewish girls gon way down south, or tally girlsaround this town

    My other girl she aint got no shame wrote aciphered mmm on her ab-do-maneTell my baby please come sleep with me, cross injoy or town of CalgaryIn bear my cross, or cept wind naught and kill myshame over againThis here girl in suppertime or skin tight hood fromyour nursery rhyme

    Call her downCall her down

    Fall of Rome

    The fall of Rome was ushered in the scent ofcologneOr timely old men who shake their head at you

    The fall of Rome was ushered in by the saints who

    atoneOr lonesome brown whores who say that time isthrough

  • 7/30/2019 YELLO the Poetry Album

    20/31

    The fall of Rome was ushered in by the science of acloneOr Yellow clouds in the sky who continue to insist

    that the sky is blue

    The fall of RomeI caused it

    Right here in this poem

    Yello

    This is what Ill requite to you

    A love in yello huesCause this sky wanes an is done and throughAnd retires to its blues

    -

    But the yello sky is what I loveBecause heaven dies when up aboveAnd retires to its blues

    But peace in men, and more amenForgive me lord for I do sinI curse against your blues

    Creation says this here blues

    Its making well, it comes from youIt was good and well and true

    But I love these yello hues

  • 7/30/2019 YELLO the Poetry Album

    22/31

    Not yello sun, no love for itOr somber world and what I sentThis color once, remember it

    And love these yello hues

    I Aspire to be a Rapper, Have Bitches andLambos. VOL II. THE REMIX

    To these little black black boysThe rocks carried in your back pocket

    They gleam with so much decadence

    Next is the present flip-With asses like the Cuban or MexicanOr the gold cross-

  • 7/30/2019 YELLO the Poetry Album

    23/31

    That ensure Im heaven sentWhen they inform my next of kin

    But right now Im a grand oratorA lexicon thats full of WORD hatersMy Girl like these dimebagsAnd her girlfriend is kind of fat

    I kill a swift symbiosisOf your community and its older homies

    They sit on the porch talking bout the good olddaysMy uncle gone of that yayIm be gone for daysSaying

    This dream is ephemeral, humanitarian in nature,and open to all who arent mute.

    Ey Dro tell that bitch I just met, to stay off my goodcognac, she hold her liquor just, I want her overhere to come mix this pink up with me. Shit Imlonely.

    He would dream of Hermes, only to lace upsome Nike and talk very nicely

    The panties, it seems, didnt bloom after the

    pansies

    What can I relate to, when I hate blue?And every phallic reference has a virgin in

    bloom?Some place they like to call me Tank

    Something I remember about my dad, he neverstored money in the bank

    But SAVE the lottery tickets, and said God tothank

    So we exchanged Mc. Ds for Capris, in theguise of skinny jeans

    That kept my ass warm, in the shelter forpeople like me.

    People dreaming of Hermes, but they have tosettle for Nike.
