So, like I
said this morning, I woke up in a silly and nostalgic mood, but Patricia’s
message was more important to get out first.
Anyhoo, I was
thinking about Myspace strangely. Now,
my parts of our book
are from some of the poetry I did while we haunted there. A lot of it’s free verse, dark and heavy, but
some of my friends, myself included, would do essentially online slams/poetry
offs until someone tapped out. It was
cool, because we each had our own style.
My crew coined my style “Chop,” because I’d start with a complete
phrase, but I could chop it down to single words with the same potency as full
sentences and it still made sense.
Let’s see if
I can still spit:
It’s been a
bit since I’ve spit
Not that I
quit
They haven’t
slowed
Nor have I
showed
Restraint
Bold paint
Strokes
To help
blokes
Crips
Rip
Through this
called life
With my wife
Two Feet
Below
Never slow
Like Mel’s
declaration
FEARLESS
coronation
Blushing
Flushing
Psssha
I never saw
See
Just me
We
Two
Trying to
make it through
This one-way
trip
And help tip
The scales
for future crips’
Favor
Savor
What they reap
To pass to
the next peep.
Be good to
each other.
