UntitledA Poem by CharlyeMonroeWritten for some San Franciscian in Union Square that couldn't buy my book
First smell sickness
Like stale piss from the pores Poor people Scent staining the concrete, seeping through the pavement, sweating paint from the buildings When they ask their parents about the bench pressed with body, deliberate spot marked by territory with codex like, “This is my job, and at the end of 9 to 5 I go home and f**k my wife.” “My life is hell,” he says with a heavy emphasis on the h so you can smell his breath, “where’d you get to find happiness for 45 minutes?” Majority of my time spent in the s**t trying to figure out how I’m going to eat Bold italicized Eat s**t and die yuppie scum I succumb immediately to flattery and interest gaining I’m not complaining but this gets a little old Lucky to look into my eyes and see nothing Fufill that stigma that n***a is a dirty word Nothing but a vowel sound to make them go off like fireworks, don’t ya know Know my place on the totem pole Match sticks Burn down to finger tips and flick away the ash Acid rain Pollution makes my eyes water Too lazy Fair trade and slow food resolution Revolving doors Thin black line And I must be going blind because my marks look dimmer Grease burns fill my mouth for reaching into the fire too fast, tongue blistered but nothing ever felt so good Street sweeper sterility Keep it down when i just want a breath Burberry weekend And my friend says one day this will be the gangster s**t Silly Six months Swollen Sun burns through the SPF © 2013 CharlyeMonroe |
