Thinking With a ConcussionA Poem by City of ProphetI wrote this in the middle of the night in my cousin closet. I kept reciting a poem I just heard by Propaganda about time and felt the need to not waste it 3:00 in the morning.Ok Ok, I thought I knew it all. I mean what wasn't there to know? I knew how to walk the part. I knew how to talk the talk. The thing is the shallow pool of Medina's thinking looked swimable. I took a head first dive into the kiddie pool. Only I pretended I didn't have a concussion. Everyone else could see the crack in my skull. The blood pouring down my face, filling my mouth quickly as i tried to speak and say "No No! Im Ok!" concluding with a gentle smile. That didn't matter. What was there not to know? *Medina- I was referring to myself*
