What the what

12-0527 What with the light skinned dreadlocks & a lotta beard/ not to fear/ half fashion statement/ the other half, an act o’ laziness/ my math adds back to basics

Three sixes interlaced in both his phone & social number structure/ unnerving to some, underdog plus an oddball/ but eventually fascinated bc of our imagination that’ll be how we got y’all/ what did you think we rock for?/ more than the machinations

don’t stop sketching, JEzus.

12-0525 Keep seein’ it/ The Incredible Lightness of Being/ bet it’s more than rhetoric even tho I haven’t explored it/ but it’s what I seek/ in the mirror a hell of a guy, my likeness/ peeps back sheepish/

like when the church ladies say, “well” in acknowledgment/ in college we said, “true” if we were following/ you’re under no obligation to stop/ but I just can’t watch you rob my nation and everybody else/ inappropriately arrange profit/ no different at the end of the day/ if we were paid, too, we’d give politicians the same dollar to protect those interests/

felttipfeltitwellenuf

empty now full of it/ knelt over the bow don’t tempt me how could he?/ he wouldn’t ever and be careful not to push me/ don’t/ sick to stomach pitch perfect mixed words in with the gurgling’/ low rumble like when the burgeon’s coming no obstacle’s proper to stop it/ uncovered and under less than intense scrutiny/ the effects of ruin/ you don’t study it, you just keep doin’/ til something comes unless it never does/ maybe reluctant to upgrade to angry/ same thing made you unpaid once/ that month was rent paid, this month is mortgage lain aside/ principally speaking, ain’t even made a dent/ main intention pay ‘em/ they’re made o’ mayhem/

For what I do I’m bout to up the fees/ paper chase motivated/ I ain’t the one to play with/ these cats, the southern players/ you could have it your way/ but I’d rather parlay/ just smoke OG and get cabbage all day/
This time

12-0513 What I’ll get done in this lifetime/ more if I find the kind o’like-minded I like collidin’ with/ despite revising my environment/ signs brighter since I said sayonara to suburbia/ learned to disperse nervousness a bit further if it encroaches/ wrote it in a journal/ usually the first person I turn to/

(In this world) mostly stoked to know ya/ open arms no plans o’ goin broke in Califo’nia/ portfolio all kinds o’ grown up/ persona tryin to wind up on a poster sign blown up/ you would see the reason why if you took the time to get to know ‘im/ just fine upon my own but better I’m with a partner/ it’s like the last boss we had was just begging us to spark a startup/ off to Mars huffin stardust/ plus regardless I’m just the farthest thing from when I started being educated/ peace to schools with that charter scheme, smarter was never the debate/ let me help you get it straight I’m kinda like a tyrant/ they survived despite the violence/ the tigers eye is wider/ the third is nearly blinded/ the herd, for realz behind us/ even tho they rarely mind us/

One who… Hams?

Design rant: Alias is bullshit. Don’t want to think about the math, don’t want to plan out cvs. The case for 3dcoat

Dessert lasagne 

As heartwarming as the art form is/ more important

Rascals in the pack/ laughing at the precipice/ basking in the effort it/ takes to make the masses ask if they can have a day in it/ the sun has its say and if we continue/ the culture formally known as/ so if you go back maybe we’ve always been doomed/ suckas that couldn’t begin to/ step back in perspective to check that a death wish is the direction that they’re headed in/ fully enforced, the forces of nature don’t have a head wind, man/ momentum evident in the land expansion shift/ along the coast both north and south of Los Angeles/ panamerican power trip/ start to finish not a minute more than three hours since technology allows it/ a loft in the clouds since ten thousand years ago and still spiraling downward/ still alive, still now or never/ before long forlorn without the etcetera, out of our clever outfits, electrical accessories without the outlets/ altruistic hardly, mostly selfish, told to spoke ardently/ fervor hasn’t always been part and parcel to me/ currently in my heart/ if offended, I wouldn’t bother to pardon me if I ask forgiveness/ it’s just that half of what I’m asking is merely a little shift/ the other half, a bit bigger/ human scale is 1:1, face to face/ and that’s exactly the angle that I’m coming from/ if ya look the impact scale is richter but day to day/

Human condition/ a ruse/ too few convicted who knew the rules existed/ and that they’re super.viscious/ in any instance/ watching the cops isn’t a superstition/ you’d be stupid if you didn’t/ catch you slippin?/ then you’s the victim/ so just use the wisdom if there really is some/ I think it really exists explicitly/ i see it especially under the influence, lifted/ free from the cerebrum up at least, most things become intuitive/ peace time/ at times in pieces, but I decree, “I’m fine”/ proud to say I’m a mess less and less/ I confess my suggestions might seem idle/ vital for survival as far as I know/ the farthest I go is within my limit since my limit ends with ‘less’/ synonymous and similarly infinite/ honestly I’m as fond of ‘must’ and obligation as my mom was/ 

The mindframe I’m in/ time’s changing/ time and time again/ not quite the same/ mighty strange, it is/

We confess/ we the best/ relief at hand at ease, m’man, don’t be easy be the easiest/

Makin it great/ coincides with makin it mine/ times ten I can’t pretend it’s not my favorite design/ sacred/ flavor is fine/ just savor it/ the taste is devine/ 

Affects the gentry, eventually, in every nation/

12-0428 Sometimes you put a lot of work in/ but it doesn’t always work out/ that’s for certain if you ask around/ quitters win faster since they learned early how to tap out and begin again/ isn’t it, all so simple then?/

And we’re back.

12-0422 Back again/ since I’ve been gone, what’s happenin/ action plan, attack to win at all costs/ even defense is weakness against us/ save their strength & call em off/ stepped up again with help from three important people/ equal contributions, some newer than others/ humbled because they all choose love/ no man is an island because when called we all stand beside him/ if the law’s abided in your own time of need you’ll never need a reason why and realize you need to cry/ Feeling like a brilliant light a million times over/ had to water it down further than Rosie’s soda-to-go turns to when there’s ice in it/ most tears are burners but these were the breeze of freedom come, a light wind/ eased up kinda precisely in a time of need/ just needed time to be/ learned a lesson, time for me/ used to the future state/ the past is fast approaching, who could stay focused/ & present, gifted at living in the present tense/ a certain disregard for irreverence/
