3rd..


i feel like the chick in that flick,
standing drenched in blood sugar baby
so it might stick magic
and they're all gonna laugh at me





or maybe more
like a moulting soft-shelled crab
crawling up a cut-glass reef...
one slip and i'm shrimp

this new porcelain skin,
tucked away
in his back pocket
and sat on

not a child with an ugly prize

i'm a moulting soft-shelled crab
deep fried and served up hot

and everyone who thinks me food
and thinks it's good
finds my mercury
content to let them die

let them swim these seas i leave therein
inky black.
What then?
















...fuckers
It's all yellow.

  • If you could choose between these superpowers which one would you choose?

    A: Superstrength
    B: Flight
    C: Invisibility
    D: The power to summon and control soft-shelled crabs


    It should be easy but now you have to think about what you could do with crabs...

    Anyone what I'm getting at is
    "some new porcelain skin
    tucked neatly away
    in some back pocket"

    Take out the "some" it's kind of a useless word in this poem - but I like some of the imagery here

    "tucked neatly away in his back pocket"

    was my first choice



    and i think i'd want flight as my superpower :)

    god i love this poem, really tight.

    "one slip and i'm shrimp"
    this is so good, yellow.

    moulting softshell/inky seas
    i love the imagery

    the VENDETTA
    OF gettin' em back...

    'new porcelain skin' is so sensual
    and juxtaposes super well
    with black ending~

    thanks for sharing this one.

    *** as to where's the puke poem?

    in the spewy sputum...
    and there were rumors of Mad Cow Disease
    and so...for the good of all concerned....

    Because I Grab The Microphone And I Pick It Up
    And Then I Fuck It Up And Then I Turn It In
    And Then I Turn It Out, Got The Body Rockin' Sound
    And Then You Know I'm Gonna Get Down And
    Eat A Scooby Snack And Take Disco Nap
    Because I'm Shopping At Sears, 'Cause I Don't Buy At The Gap
    Sending This One Out To All The Funky Inspirations
    Pretty Purdie On The Drums With The Beat Relations
    Well, I'm Working On Rhymes, They're Coming Line By Line
    Trying To Put What I Feel Into Word And Rhymes
    I've Got A Feeling Coming On, I've Got To Make Some Shit
    A Little Something Stupid, For The Twisted And Sick
    Because I Drive Like A Maniac On The Streets
    And I Don't Give Fuck 'Cause I've Got The Beats
    Got My Nuts Swingin' From Left To Right And
    Right To Left And I'm Death Defying

    Alright Hear This
    Alright Hear This

    I Spin My Fortune On A Wheel Like Sajak
    Here's The Payback Keep Going Strong Like Since The Way Back
    I Try To Be Myself But I Lose Track
    'Cause The Shit Gets Complicated Now I've Got To Get Back
    As We Learn To Breed Love For One Another
    In These Times Of Melying Cultures
    I Give Respect For What's Been Borrowed And Lent
    I Know This Music Comes Down From African Descent
    Because I Don't Need A Magic Potion
    Let Me Talk About Back Field In Motion
    My Girls Got Cheeks For Weeks And I'm Happy
    You Know I'm A Sneak Like My Old Grand Pappy
    I Gotta Give Thanks To My Man Archie Shep
    For Staying True To Inspiration And I Don't Half Step
    So I Kick Out The Jams And Tell You Who I Am
    And I Talk To The People Like Les Mccann

    [Chorus]

    I Ask God For A Rhyme Or Two
    A Little Something For The Wise As Well As The Fool
    A Little Something To Affect A Little Taste Of Change
    For The Together And The Strong As Well As the Dearanged
    I'll Do You Right Like Bobby Knight
    And Then I'm Rapping On The Mic To The Broadway Light
    Stomp My Hands, I Clap My Feet And
    I'm Bugging Off Yusef Lateef
    I Got A Match To My Ass And I'm A Keep It Lit
    I Need To Get Some Cash, Call My Accountant Britt
    I'm Rushing Around Town Taking Care Of My Functions
    Always Got One More Thing So Forget About Function
    We Create This World And The Problems Go On
    Create Our Lives And The Things That Go Wrong
    So To The Deaf, The Blind, Look Around And Listen
    To What It Is You Want And For What You're Wishing
    It's all yellow.

  • That was fly.
    Do you kids still use "fly" as a slang adjective?
    If not, then that was swell.
    I don't want to be tripping.
    Know what I am saying, player?
  • YellowYellow Posts: 699
    i don't think the kids are using "fly" anymore, j...

    i don't think they're even saying "phat"


    i think as soon as middlewhiteamerica hears about it, it's out...
