Ifs of identity

 If I became a man at 18

why do I crave shelter in love at 68

 

If I hadn't been born human                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I might spit and spew on shit and hue man

Stow away from the dock of the bay

On a slave ship with a forty-two-man crew

Bound for somewhere darkened with the stench of gloom

 

If I can sit here and endeavour to connect with metaphysical immanence

manipulate cultural philosophy

remobilise the motivation behind the perceived

Face the face beyond the veil

And grab the dagger behind the cloak

How easy will it be for me to find a victim for my joke

 

If we are a dance of neutrons, protons, and electrons

within a larger ball of protons, neutrons, and electrons

and matter and anti-matter sleep

side by side in a bed of coexistence

harmony

bliss

synchronisation

wonder of wonders

Then why do I keep getting these damned wakeup calls

Hair straight sis

                                    Hair straight sis       A brother can't relate to a sister who’s got her hair straight  trying to tell me I'm a waste man and she's down with the main man who can cast you with a wave of his hand ya nameless grain of sand looking to gain the mane of gravel  on a road preferably travelled    Now you're getting played like acoustics you think you're being aloof in popping a ruse but the truth is that the fool is fooling the fool and if the shoe fits .... your man will go off, lie with some-one he don't know  and not give two shits cause he don’t really know you from a biscuit    Ask your little girl what an afro is She’ll have to look it up on google images and she will never know how her own hair grows  cause you poured acid on your birthright  ...

  I hate it when strangers look me up and down.   Like  I'm  new in town and they have the right study me in a glance from head to toe like there's something they could possibly know   as if  there's  something anybody knows from an outside glance at the region surrounding the toes    I step on the train    and you eye up my  garms  in non-contestable silent judgement   telling yourself that by hook or by crook  you're  better than me the way that everybody else is better than anybody else  and green eyes are as transparent as their red eyes are opaque Our channels are far too distracted with reality  for this lazy animalism to be compatible with mammal attraction   Judge not lest you be  but you have these condescending expressions' in 'I'm better than you' impressions   when some insignificant stranger   makes itself a momentary feature   by stepping into your psychic spa...

SO NEAR... SO FAR

SO NEAR The first two weeks without Lucy was so fucking annoying The man lost his composure and was forced to let the boy in and the boy turned every moment into a potential collision because all he saw was Lucy through his new affliction Tunnel Vision and he spat the flipping dummy distinguishing boy from man He didn't have a clue since he never had a plan The fire that he held in his heart for her got hotter and brighter and he exemplified the transition from the lover to the fighter   I suppose peace is for someone else It doesn't seem to occur and neither does back to life as I knew it without her her You see all was well for a fella who fell no further than small walls with clear peripherals but the area of obsession is so thick that you couldn't tap your way through the haze with the blind stick, a sat nav or all the wit I think I have I've tripped into the petrol unpredictability Kicking off at the wind just dissipates my voice and rage makes the blindness worse ...
