"Natural water bottles pop
sets me off"

a groovy bass line plays in his head
and he never picked up a guitar,
a clean sax solo swings back and forth in his ears
and he never held any brass.

"Mama on her knees setting the undercover detective's sirens off
daddy suppose to be this older hustler
I'm known as the family feather rustler"

nobody understands
but silently everybody knows,
holes in socks
dingy clothes -
"they try to teach
but they're hypocrites,
stingy"
but they feel I'm a crime that never acquits

other side of the tree
snakes wrapped around the stem
say I'm not any of their kin publicly,
nobody pays attention to me -
gonna go swallow a whole bottle of Tylenol
if the rope snaps

premature mindset
normal physical appearance
 limited endurance
no love
or set assurance -

always in a fight
cain't get right
older brother don't like me
my skin's too light.

"You got something I want
I'm taking It!"
no time for asking
I'm barely making it

want you to feel what I've felt my whole life
grief, instability
"Let me take that off your hands"
gives me relief
gaining what I'll never have.

" Bless those 
being fed dog food
in the womb, 
though I choked on rat poison thru the umbilical cord,
give them a better path "
