She orchestrates her life 
With organization 
And control 
Ands let's not one problem 
Slip into place 
And she cleans her spotless room 
To prepare for the company 
Coming over 
And she takes precisely 
3 CDs
And scatters them artfully 
On her desk
To make the room seem 
Lived in 
And less perfect 
As she tries to mask 
Her loneliness 
And separation 
That gusts just strong enough 
To shake the timbers 
But leaves the foundation 
Still standing

I have ye to thank,
all ye actors and poets and marvels
(and DCs and everything in between)
for I have lived with ye, and amongst ye,
and ye have gently inspired genuine genius
in all ye holes in the wall
and all ye pens and strings and voices.

I thank you for the endless memories
of conversations of unnecessary furor and consuming hysteria
of brilliant surprises from elegant unknown talents
of tossed salad people and places and history and interaction
of a night lost in glowsticks but preserved in pictures
of a time my time in between periods of blank walls
of a blinding bolt forward in presence of mind.

For was it you
who told me about your grandfather
a man so brilliant that a mere conversation with the dean
at sixteen granted him admission to Columbia?
who told me of Canadian interlocutors
intimately engaged, only after your party had left?
who told me of amazing cliffside adventures
in education and nature's nomenclatures abound?
who discussed my heritage against that of a concrete world
of exploding dreams and collapsing stars at once,
where you take a bite but might get the proverbial worm?
or you, against that of a simple hicktown
where tractors run tandem with buicks in school lots?

Might it have been you
who watched with me psychedelic documentaries
and named canaries after variations of drug store medications?
who gallantly tolerated my most obnoxious outrageous disgusting
interesting unaffected out-of-their-mind friends?
who took me to absurd spots at absurd hours to breathe absurdity,
then churted we'd go, back the building we'd known?
who brought me in groups to feast on uncomfortable meats,
but between the awkward and networked gossip pipelines,
were enjoying the food and friends and flattery?
who drunk on dreams, droned on into darkness,
and dripped into ears of a man in his cave,
a man playfully perplexing you by pondering preposterous?

It must have been you
whose beautifully woven music reached my ears,
enveloped my being, seldom alone, and even when solo,
scattered brains with banter and brilliance combined...
who, with an open door and wide smile,
welcomed me to the mind's great opera house,
and gave audience to my own logical saga...
who in the weekend's weak end became crazy dazed amazings,
lazing in listless lack of activity, or senselessly celebrating
sins and kinship, all ways seeking erasure...
who gave me so many names against the grain,
jrosay or nerp or j or jackattack or just plain jack,
your classmate hallmate roommate or just plain friend...
who sat and sang and slew, dragons myths, moods,
and hit and clicked and ripped and spilt, toxins, guilt,
and hurt and failed and walked with me...


at least i hope it was you
you who paved platforms and bridges to raze amazing
and left vast caches of spectacular aptitude
or you who spread brilliance like plagues defined loosely,
grossly self-aware in great stares of embarrassed arrogance
and defeated demons crying freedom and bleeding love
you gave worlds great engravings, new meaning
to be me in new worlds new dreams new things
nooses spread shredded across mind fields
you lovingly led leaders over languid anguish
dangled carrotsticks and heritage bringing peace
you found you finding a place in space in winding time
under universal roofing aloof of stinking sewage
found a truth around music and beauty

shopping cart hearts that gather dust and poetry
blissful obituary tears splashing across my memory
loco rangers of brilliant oblivion armed with toothy news
slaying my molded upbringings refreshing genius

fair chance soul trade and daylong flatlines
double barreled shotgun roulette
blank charge buckshot
noisemakers both

that trigger
firing
you
?
I dedicated this poem to the people in my freshman year living-learning community at the University of Michigan. There are many references to specific moments from that academic year, but you certainly don't have to understand them to understand the poem's message. It is structured to mimic the progression of the academic year, and then beyond.

Sometimes i wish i was a rapper in the booth.
Just to be labeled honesty if the dictionary lacked the word "truth".
I'll find a way through teflon gates, Say Jay? you know all about creating a route.
Being a fugitive somehow when the system was designed for no way out.
It's easy to judge as a billionaire when you not staring at debt in a dark room.
When depression telling you to die while anxiety saying we die too soon.
Put the paintings down & peek back through that portal.
It's ****** living suicidal while simultaneously wanting to be immortal.
Maybe you were just speaking of the MCs
but when it comes to the Atlantas, the Baltimores, the DCs ?
The rocks we between harder than the hardest places.
It's a bit much yes, but you see the money to they ear, I see the smiles on they faces.
You went from roaches to diamond crusted brooches and now you hitting the hood with amnesia driven approaches.
Neck flooded with loaded cuban links, that reasonable doubt Jay
Showing money is showing money, what was different about your display?
I guess being rich for two decades it isn't as exciting no more.
Hard for me to tell a man not to be prideful with a come up when yesterday he was sleeping on the floor.
Did you forget what it felt like to talk to God and not get a response later?
To them that's really a phone, hearing a reply from the Lord through that paper.
We appreciate the game, appreciate the wisdom, you're still a legend to this date.
But as you continue to build a wealthy family don't forget how to relate.
Free America,from the slave descendants of Mommy Africa,
See the before and after, math salts throw, in the blood baths,
Saw graphs, drawn from dust to dawn, tryna rock on,
But my black thought spawn, til I caught the sons,
Of light delight, keep my mind, focused on the plight,
BLM's, dropping in DCs dm's, so much maked from the grims,
I walk around, in my timbs, still gotta watch my limbs,
Slim, off of the dead weight, cant keep my head straight,
A scholar, never chased dollars, cuz it dont make any sense,
Why lose my soul, only to find my self, in the worm hole,
Apples, looking good but it's too much, demons in Hollywood,
And there I stood,
Posted up, like the chi lights on soul train, quarter of butane,
Up the bane, in me bare necessities, avoid the pleasant kitties,
Rolling in different cities, and brothers on the gritty,
Side of homicide, flash of death, pondering everyday, lives,
Only the wise, see the blind sighs, evils no longer disguised,
States in flames, politicians playing the same role games,
No gains, only to put us, in deeper restraints, where the saints?
No where to be found, too busy chasing around, clowns,
Yo it's goingdown, chess boards, checkmate, vocal chords,
Women taking over, last of the ages, rebirth of the pass over,
See the destruction arise, blood in the skies,a  tainted sunrise,
They dont realize, equality just means more bold lies,
For men and women, to divide while they slide in the, sweet ties,
More vaccines, more promises of a clean, life happiness supreme,
The serpents come in the calmest charm, miss the alarms,
Shackled society, cancel culture racism, along with vocabulary,
Cant speak ya mind, think yo, it ain't illegal yet, immigrants,
Crossing in sets, tax breaks for the rich, while the poor stitch,
The quilts, of guilts, tears of the weary souls, heavy vessel,
Catch the boat, of emotions moving through, the mental ocean,
Who do you believing, this is the season, more reasons,
For folks to die, injected needles, of poison, to darkened ya eyes,
They say I'm also crazy, cuz I been, thinking too much lately,
I'm off the ghost, like Swayze, wish truth, could see me,
But apparently, only be made in mockery, charred legacy,
Baby, I only rock the real, no need to pack, a piece of steel,
I'll die, in someone else's blood, this ain't for punks, or thugs,
Combat stats, checked out in Iraq, Saddam launched the attacks,
But they said it was Bin Laden, but that guy, was pinned to Obama,
Coma, see the drama, catch the parenthesis, news victory,
Ya dont need, a eye glass, magnifier to see, the turn in society,
Sitting like chief be, ecstasy my poetry, spirit symmetry,
Form to perfection, imperfect resurrection, correction,
Over the billboard, wars breaking out, but largely ignored,
Venezuela revolution, pistols shooting, citizens grouping,
Taking back the city, media hates the wrath of the people,
Cracking the whips, of evil, see the slips, through the peephole,
Blame trump for every error, welcome to Joe's terror,
Braced more scarier, missiles launched, breaking barriers,
Militaries gone weak, I cant speak, amongst, the demos that creep,

— The End —
