If you can’t do this bit
These triangles, slivers
and the purple haze

You can’t live
The Life of Pie!

You will hurt the ones you love
and they will hurt you

While drunken on fountains of grapes
and laps of orange blossom

Rise in the morning
and grind again
One Hundred.

The Purple One

 

I remember writing

Love Letters

For souls that bow out

Like bosses

You wrote that elevator ending

Pennies for your music

Paeans for the soul

of the Purple Dove

The Wonderment

Why does black on black crime matter less than black lives matter?

Black on black crime is the consequence of a broken man

Black lives matter is the consequence of a broken system

Fix the broken system

fix the broken man >>>>
