Inspired by conversations with David

There comes a time when you just

get up

go to mosque

& go home


When you’re not up to nothin’

you just,

get up

go to mosque

& go home


You love your wife, love your life

you just,

get up

go to mosque

& go home


Every Friday, you just

get up

go to mosque

& go home


Get some FOOD.

 found some money

go buy FOOD

get yourself some

FOOD.


Nobody touches that money.

it’s for the old.

it’s for the sick.

it’s for the kids.

you just,

don’t touch it.

don’t EVER touch it.


I haven’t eaten crust in 10 years.

this is great

crust.


You see when you’re in the village

the kampung

you ‘ll see it

a wall

literally, a literal wall

poor on one side

rich on the other


Always try the lentil soup.

ALWAYS

always try it,

the LENTIL SOUP


We need to be writin’ about 

AMERICA

AMERICANS

US, our people


Jugglin’ prevents stroke…

the Egyptians knew that

they juggled.


Yeah he was cool. I knew Malcolm

X, Malcolm and I

knew him in jail

he’s the type of guy

to ask how your mothers doing

& remember her

birthday


Why can’t people just

be friends, 

true friends

pure friendship

BECAUSE

they genuinely just

like hanging out with each other


Poor Ivan, POOR IVAN

had the true struggle

he’s the victim of the novel

he was sick &

his brother knew it

poor Ivan

anyway

that’s what Dostoyevsky's about


Listen, Hawaii is a place for LOVERS,

happy people

I ain’t goin’ to Hawaii.


That’s what happens when

you live in a corner house

corner houses get

LIGHTNING…

blows the sockets 

right out of the wall.

don’t live in a corner house


Lithium is poisonous

it’ll turn you pale

you’ll always have it

the thirst

alcoholism


Y’know, halal is just good food

it’s fresh

it’s just food

it’s real good food

good for you, too


He was an alcoholic

it’s the worse disease

drinkin’ & smokin’

performance enhancing

that’s why they do it

writers


You ever heard of it?

smelly vagina disease

my ex-wife has it

just two guys talkin’


We gotta be careful, y’know

these LESBIANS

they’re joining ISIS

& threatening the American Family


So I’ll see ya.

I’ll make sweet potatoes.
