Freestyle

When I read, I speak,

And when I speak, I read

Words rolling off my eyes,

Filling my tongue full of free--

Style rhyming and rhythm.

 

The canons of thought rolling out with a boom.

Pachelbel changing your direction of flow

Through some Perverse, Obscure, Rehearsal

 

Suddenly Reversed.

 

Back where you started,

Starting over again,

With a pen in your hand

The words crowding your head.

 

Gotta jump and tumble

To the jiggle and flow

Of the individualistic,

Unrealistic,

Even cannibalistic

 

Creations that grow.

From your stylus,

Rife.

 

Words.

 

They're the stuff of life.
