THISssssss... is a "Spoken Word" ~ delicacy

Absolutely ridiculous flow !!!!

I am rarely taken in too far by a subjective piece about a relationship...such as this
but ...the wisdomatics folded in along with the candor...and humorous touches like the
Linus Blanky and Ugly Cosby sweater ... sold me !
along with some very applauable word-play

Kudos...snaps...n' all that Open-Mic rot
This is a keeper ...

LiLi requested me to read this, and I am glad I did. Very unique, haven't seen something like it here on cafe. From the way you wrote the words in a longer fashion, so we can read it line by line in a "conversational manner." It was a lot of thoughts, but someone like me who thinks a million thoughts at once can understand it. I love how you mention "Chicago" at the end, that's a great part.

Anyway, at loss for words because of this literary masterpiece.

This is my first read of you, and I'm impressed by your style. I read it aloud to myself, as I would do any piece that immediately catches me in a rhythm, and I have to say....I think I need Chicago in my soul, too.

This piece is so dope on so many different levels; and I love your hip-hop spirit. "In the go...on the go...."

Even home is a movable object. Be light....

Sick write.....
