"turntables" poems
My dear summers dream was to the taste cream
Pass me the triple beam the microphone fiend
Back on the scene simplicity is your complexity
So amazingly like grace I be rockin' the place
Like we Studio 54 shut down the doors
Once the bubbly pours and the **** adores
Ya mental **** ya sentimentals and these new aged millennials
They too satirical I make miracles flow potholes
Creatin' mass mayhem your an inconvenience
Cuz of ya hesitance my presence is known
Without even being shown paragraphs of stone
Hard to crack waxing tracks like a shark attack
Felonious acts we never back down
Til my soul drown in the core of the earth
Royalties since birth new my worth they tried to mirth
At my pain tryna change the game cuz all these cowards
Saying the same thang got dang got dang
Time to chess box like Wu Tang leavin' a stain
On ya reign no tears though I'll be on solo
Rippin' up instrumentals ya know how we do so...yeahhh
From the Sunny to bees that make the honey
Sticky icky like my spliffs be call me smokey
Puttin' fire to mother natures forests check the creases I
unleashes
Rap game mafiaso so so better back back
Or else get dropped lika Domino so here we go!
Here we go!
With the ghetto jams love girls with the derriere's of Pam
Got **** once again it's time to slam
Mics harder than Shawn Kemp ya flows shrimp
That's why ya girl calls me Mr **** no limp
Slick as Rick hello young world tilt and a whirl
Catch the swirl of Qatar Pearls on the neck of ya girl
Suckas better know I'm coming with a blow
Harder than Bowe combined with a super glow
black Saiyan raps slayin' turntables layin'
So I can get wicked lyrics Pickett
like Wilson
Flows in unison formation
of words
Herds a violent surge
feel the purge
We high rising no disguisin'
knockin' out Suckas who jivin' ain't none survivin' ?

There's a crowd of pitch black unicorns at a Chelsea Wolfe's concert.
A crowd of pitch black unicorns moving their onyx hooves and horns
at the rhythm of drones dressed in electric guitars. An acoustic break follows.
The vibrations of the music and dancing cause purple flowers to grow,
purple flowers weaned on blood and sticky black tar. There's a crowd of
unicorns dancing at a Chelsea Wolfe's concert feeding on ladybirds crisps
and dragonflies sticks, that once home will play vinyls on mystic turntables of fire.
The purple flowers grow into vines and try to smother the unicorns
to prevent them from listening to bloodred-dyed vinyls on mystic turntables of fire.
Meanwhile in the corner of a museum S. Teresa of Avila's statue animates by itself, walks
to the window and throwing itself crumbles into a thousand of pieces of marble.
The seventh seal has not been opened yet but the ninth the eleventh and the seventeenth
exploded already, cracked their own wax and started spreading tongues of flames
and water to decimate humanity. A woman dressed in a fifteenth century scarlet outfit
leads the pitch black unicorns to salvation creating a safe haven for them
in Manchester and another one in California. They have in the meantime gone bonkers
and started feeding on each other. Equine teeth suddenly grow carnivorous jaws.
Nothing is left in the two oasis apart from a puddle of blood and a pavement of corpses.
It's 7 a.m. Chelsea has not yet finished her concert and her music blossoms around
played by the mystic turntables of fire. That which remaineth is pitch black light
and the breath of aeons lingering here and beyond and nowhere.

Dangerman
—a buyer and seller
of mostly himself
Petticoat
—a ***** on the take
and about to slip
Each made promises to the other
but both loved journeys
and valleys
and limericks
and turntables
and spirits
and skirt-raising
and slowdives
and lip-biting
and come-hither
more than their here-and-now vow
Trigger-happy begetter
with an ax to grind
killing captives slowly
with jagged little things
it's the strangest sound
in spite of the plight of
the ringing in his ears
it never fades away
I reckon numbers and lead are arbitrary
to a button man
whose wheels turn circles
mainly in his skull
revolving/rouletting
as infinite go-around
Never mind though, the time must be now
for a show of hands
Motherhood waited in the ship's hold
until the treasure hunt
brought her to this final island
a choice between gold
and the aging ******
The young who suckle at her breast
might one day run mum through
with the sword at Payback
—that unsteady little homestead
where profit and loss
share the same face
Never mind though, the moment must be now
to ring the bell
And raise redemption
like a burning flag of regret

Go on, dance with me now.
Your hands ticking away time like a drumbeat,
your radius hitting the table
with a knock
on every door that has my heart hidden
somewhere between dreams. This orange
October sky, your laugh like an earth
losing its spin, axis alias to your tongue.
Forget me now then, we were never a race-
track
burnt asphalt into your name, I was only
a ship with a suicidal anchor,
crashing turntables like the surface of the sea,
our song stuck now in the echoes
of the Atlantic.

When you hear stalls emanating sobs
In cracked, ***** bathrooms, in between jobs
Drunk, gritting his teeth and getting buttfucked
By black men, grunting, as you stand dumbstruck,
Do you wonder how a man could be so down on his luck?
In a truck-stop graffiti-tiled bathroom in his white frock,
Trying to ignore the incessant crow of the ****
Gagging between unforgiving ticks from the clock.
Sipping on beer, the **** bleeds from the cell
Spreading dollar bills over the ghost where he fell.
Pale-white, scraggly, he bends down for his cash
Using mental math to make the conversion from bills to crack.
Rope still dangling between his teeth, he drops the syringe,
Dragging a cigarette and counting his next binge.
Do you wonder if on the way to help, he just lost
His way? But he looks up to ask "the **** you want?
Are you throwing out an ad hominum argument?
Slipping into something like aluminum garments.
Throw me face down into the edge of a tar pit,
What are friends for?"
Kaysea, turn back, you don't want to touch it
Your lungs will turn black and your soul will be rusted
Over by doubt, self-deprecation and shame
You'll realize everyone else is exactly the same
Only you've changed. You don't need the shot
Lie sprawled, get sick naked in one spot (and rot)
Lest we forget the chains of superstitious fear,
The two of us would be lending bleeding ears.
Gotta wait for the grenadier to return
With the test results
What have we learned?
Gotta find the truth from within the turntables
What have you earned?
Misery loves company, and this is your catch.
You desire the freedom of looking at mirrors to retch
But it's not lucidity (you'll forget that a lot),
Just impulses revealing that which is not.
Your father'd die twice if that was your insight.
Do we all have the right to be in hell for a night?
There is a never ending layer of nicotine in my throat
And nostril scabs, and that's all she wrote, I hope.

Still puffin' cigars in my sixty six jaguar
Made a hood star from climbing a far
**** the drug games I made my name
Through lyrics of pain easing ya migraine
Words pure as Columbian *******
That's means you'll go insane
Tryna hang with the dark Knight Bruce Wayne
Which means ya mentallydrained going
derange
My smiff n wesson lays a nice range
From the Midwest to the south of Central Texas
Get love from my barrio we stay thorough
Haters get marked like zorro so follow
The leader beat pleaser turn ebenenzer
Once I spit vocals take over ya locals
Can't Max me out my own **** hardest to hit
Ya swear it's back in the year of nine six
Slammin' all of the these industry clowns like Jordans did the Knicks
A Timely essence
Even if I'm chillin' with the dead residence
you'll still feel my presence no hesitance
To foes stained ya calicos wake ya up with a cup of
Flow
and I stay smokin' girls ******* holes setting fires to their mentals
My flows set on auto pilot causing riots
Baltimore rage untamed had to put my rhymes in a cage
Seen the guage
Cocked back ain't no taking away from that
Deaths in progress only blessing you seen
Is stress so take another hit of cannabis
Before you enter the eternal abyss hang ya body over the
cliff
Like Big Red record every word I said
And still can't get a word to the feds I'm the black
Hoover
got flats from Houston to Vancouver
Let me show ya who's the real bruiser
Spittin' rhymes that lay more bodies than Fallujah
Cruise right through
tha
My rhymes is tank shootin' missles with no
thanks
I'm only here to live out
My fathers prank
Though the devil keep me above all levels
Tryna stay from the goods I was made rebel
Fools thought they was Cain til they found out I was
abel
Killin' em with microphone cordless cables and
turntables
Read between my eyers n you'll see visions of many
halos

You don't wanna hurt me but you say **''Won't you stop,
you talking about love but you only got words''**
and you ask me **''What's making you not lose hope
when there is so much distance between our worlds
It's sad to hear but I was just passing
nothing serious, like someone leaving in the morning
don't hold on me cuz i'm nothing good for you
I'll make you feel what you don't wanna go through
cuz I'm just as lost as you honey''**
*See, I hate when you are so indecisive
and I hate how your love has been addictive
how can it feel so good when it ruins me emotionally
maybe i'm attracted to what's gonna destroy me
and I know you like to start this wicked game
but i don't care now, you've made a mess of me
let's turntables and play this wicked game again
I'll make you beg when you get closer to me*
you've had me from the start
I still can't control what you've been doing to my heart
and I often go through this phase
I fall down and just get lost in a haze
and i can't bear that I love you
I can't bear that you're all i want and need
I wish it was different with you
but anyway I know that I'll never win
you're so unreachable

i've heard the songs
about killing pain
sounding like the only
way is with a vinyl
record and several
shots of something strong
*(but pain isn't all
alcohol and turntables)*
it's a stack of cds
still shrinkwrapped so
they shine like diamonds
a discard pile scratched and
cracked so i know that
life keeps skipping on
a fourth cup of coffee
to send my heart
rattling and my
hands shaking
*(i've wished to be in
love before just so
my heartbreak could
someday be justified
but i can let the music
paint that picture easy)*
buffering lyric videos
sprawled out in bed
watching the light grow
brighter behind the curtains
finding myself addicted
to pain and freezing cold
because i need the white
noise of a fan at night
*(but pain isn't all
alcohol and turntables
sometimes it's just old
boomboxes and black tea)*

It's beyond me I swear
This will get me every time
So breakable, so malleable
These thoughts, they are not mine.
Turntables of transformations,
Ghosts of reasons past,
They swear up and down, they do,
But it's the logic in them that lacks.
Caressing tragedy and levitating love,
My lungs are filled with poisonous air,
Spiraling curves of crazy and impossible,
These thoughts they do not care.
Taken down by all forces,
I seem to strong to be this weak,
My energy leaves the body,
My soul can barely speak.
Patterns of places,
Once familiar to my mind,
Take over my senses,
These thoughts they are not kind.

What i should do is a product of the mind
when enlightenment hits its like these eyes go blind
And I find, in our bind, we are ones who knew
just along for the ride in the same canoe
releasing that aura so black , when i hack
the realization far from knowing no I can’t go back
animal sign in that creature may you reach your spirit with a clarity
to find that YOU ARE YOUR OWN TEACHER
the feeling from this healing
so sensitive I’m numb
the pounding of my heart is like a silent soul drum
This travel of a trance, unraveled from a glance
the false turntables, a mt Everest avalanche.
____________
Words, phrases and meanings
is what my unconscious is seeing
tendencies leaving, no harm meant
started with good intent
then was haunted by demons
I then repressed, was oppressed
next regressed but stepped, leaving negative feelings dis/integrated
…..
ritualistically disgustipated
with the feelings that exists
for the double harmonix 5ths
1 heal the knows that stick
2 rewind the now realized fallacy
3 circle ceremony of sanciti
dedicated to the greatest ME
holotropic state lacks eviscerate
imported government a copy of a state
…..
concentrate at a constant pace
can’t stop nor wait
but modulate out of figure 8s
as we conquer stakes
know we’re found, hold it down
or regurgitate.
Before a studded alter, I kneel.
I have been here an eternity.
A single sphere traps me in the moment,
and slows my understanding to the meter of the sacred moment.
Judging proceeds.
Every possibility of my
responses to be analyzed in their intention.
I shall prove
worthy.
My intention is pure and I only try to harmonize with the true frequency of the highest reality.
I shall know what I look for.
Know it intimately and deeply, to the point of full empathy between the object and self.
Realize the truth of myself.
Dream. My credence.
Love. My code.

Every time I eat here,
I wonder if she’s still in the restroom.
I watch the cakes orbit
On refrigerated turntables—
a silent waltz for the ballerinas running omelets and coffee.
Back when she excused herself to the restroom,
the hostess was probably still in diapers.

two thousand and fifteen
we still.on the same scene
1989 to now i see the
Hidden powers with raise eyebrows
cuz i refuse to be a mule a fool

since i got only one vein they wanna bleed

out but the power is here to stay
so forget what the media says
we all as one and one as all
together we'll fall don't be a sucker
to the voting because
ya ballots aint valid? get it? got it ?
good still down for my neighborhood
but it seems they can only throw block parties but scared to rally the city halls claim they gangsta?
but hide behind a tainted smile and how the hell.is everything ok?
when police smokin' us everyday
month to year no ones drops a tear
im in yo mind so i know ya

We gotta....
terminator x
hittin' ya with the wrist flex
so the turntables in check
The rhymes is in prospect
i gotta get respect its earned no given

dont follow a man made God cuz he led me to slavery
back when they used to beat us
and pick cotton for free society
is all ****** up got these kids corrupt
they dont know real from.fiction
it was a well known prediction
from page to page i seen the elite grow enraged
scared of a revolutionary
we had Malcolm Martin' Marley

i ask for slack
but once they know you black
they willingly ready to attack
so what if ya put ya hands up ?
you'll still get popped in ya temple

we go so deep
that we forget
what's on the surface,
it's a slide, steep
and our fear is
on the playground,
while our focus
sleeps
we bounce thoughts,
off our paddles
as we serve
linguistic ping pong *****
mischievous baboons.
we tug on playful balloons,
skipping on ribbons,
in the rubber pastel
dances of the shifty winds,
fluttering flocks of
glowing grey moons
we turn tables
like turntables,
on tilted roofs
we lay silent, slanted
kissing devil hooves

Return late at night
34mph on the gangway
Decimated and tired
rotated and unstoppable
When I come back around the cul-de-sac
the green candle shines my return
Flag hangs big and ogreish
Waiting for something more
I replaced my turntable
Black and wood on wood desk
Grains matched unintentionally
On one speaker I placed my snowglobe
Big Ben tall and wide
Snow stirs when I play
On the other The Capitol
Big heavy white dome
Smaller and wider but still just as lost
Blizzard of turning particle
What mood do i turn to?
Daft and electronic
Queen of hearts and misery
Dance of mad villainy?
33.333333 repeating
An album cover to cover
slip safely in between
read the inherent vibrative tone
glide my eaten fingernail
And sing the songs through my teeth
33.33333 repeating
Songs forever maintained
Never compressed, just expressed
Saved into physical form
33.3333 repeating
Round and round Fibonacci of doom
Spiral totally in control
There is another side to this story I never knew
33.333 repeating
They were going to make movies on vinyl screens
with vinyl tape and vinyl face
Then we got cable
33.33 repeating
Mesmerized by the glide of the needle
softer than a lover's touch
sharper than an atomic clock
33.3 repeating
It will be time to flip sides
Soon I will know no evil
Only the darker satellite
33 repeating
I repeat:
Listen closely and find the spot
Queue it up and fall apart

Is it possible to harbor "too much" love?
Does it blind those that look into these eyes, like when you look directly into the sun?
My eyes are tired and burn in the darkness of night, and I'm not sure if that's a relfection of being one with the light or being tired from this endless fight.
We spin on turntables of various perspectives.
The tables turn and our hearts turn aggressive.
A voice that shakes like unstable breaks, makes me want to thank the way these words easily become written all over my face.
You don't have to look too far, just look into my eyes - a demise that is out of sight.
It might be the right time to end all that should die inside of these rhymes.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but that is the beauty in life - we still have the freedom to create our own song.
So, we walk.
We walk to the beat of our dreams, yelling **** what you see me to be, I believe in all the words that they never could sing to me!"
Aggression gently hidden by a message.
Answers, always ridden on the wrong end of the question.
This is my confession - I walk to a song of everything I reckon, through these turntable eyes.
Recognize, my demise won't be televised.

As the beat breaks,
the floor trembles,
the records spin, and we
all dance
on the hardwood floor
covered in spilt beer
cocktail napkins,
at a house show in DC,
where I'll always remember
rushing on the stage
and waving my cellphone,
as though I brightened
the light in a beacon
tucked away in a lighthouse
on a grotesque rock formation,
in the corner of the James River.
I studied her movements:
tiny and minute,
enough to bring exposure
to the deejay scratching records
on a set of turntables,
cut from a maple tree.
The lights cut off,
like a road raged driver
who maneuvers frantically
around my vehicle,
this vessel containing my space,
personal and untouched,
a lonely cabin in a dense forest.
Now I'm considering whether
I should break the beer bottle over
the bar booth, or send her an emoji, a meme, or a gif,
to let her know my heart
possesses multitudes,
beyond the scope of your timeline. Found life in
the bottom of a Murakami Well
deeper and larger than the cavern
behind the hidden waterfall,
in a tourist attraction in Chattanooga.
This is for when I'm sorry; make me
forget
about drawings you’ve sketched
on the back of your pair of converses.
So do me a solid,
give me the first home video
of your newborn crawling around
the carpet, or the dance floor.
And then tell me why can't I be great too.

You scratched the record
And now my head is back on repeat
It goes over that same beat
Over and over again to the point where
I don't even wanna attempt to speak
If silence is golden
Then I'm the biggest known mine
Because it feels as though I've been skating over myself when putting words into rhyme
Always the same topics from me and not to interesting metaphors
You scratched it like a DJ on turntables because I'm winding up to the end of this fable, I can still write and I'm more than willing and able but I gotta stretch my muscles again before I lose the sharpness on my pen, that's my sword

Hate us hate us hate us hate us
Check my guns that bust flow platinum plus
Got the game on tarantula rap Dracula
Suckin' the game dry from the bullets that fly across ya head like a taste of high
Reverse my birth so I can make worth hit em where it hurts
Pockets felt from the death delt fear smelt
Under my enemies embrace my energy faster than a black hole outta space you outta place you an alien
Tippin'out of bounds what's that sound? Bodies hittin' the grounds once my voice sounds
On the mic you know I get the bids right grip it tight tighter then a virgins pliers amplier set to higher
The more the degrees the more they fall to the knees in pleas my guns sneeze
Givin' bless you night line specials
Read across the board becoming a hoard
A lost demon breathin' none relievin' souls retrievin' got em teethin' yo who do you believe in?
Better say Yosef or my gats to ya melon becomes explosive made ferocious guerillas known to be killas focused on scrillas got a a few villas
Me classa Bentleys on the front of my castle I got greyskulls and a closet full
Of mics and turntables breakin'any label thought you was Cain til I was Able
To knock ya down buried ya crown found
By arche-ologist I suggest your best bet its to bow to my set a super threat none could hit
Bars harder than the me ruthless as the Bush adversary who am I just another waitin' to die
Retrace my thoughts in the sky made for wise no ties visualize my sinister enterprise make spirits between womens thighs glare in her eyes she catch my phallus rise and then becomes re- energize
Makin' a pride a lion that hide his true identityto infinite and beyond compared to none some call me Satan
Cuz I be the luminous one flash out a gun sparkin' targets regardless Ill always get hits
On the chart sticking like darts part
The seas and the lands from my energy that spans elastic as rubberbands stand against my clan ya bound to be left with a ****** tan

Beer bottle lights,
Upright gentlemen with silver linings
Spinning records on thumping turntables
The wretched melody of infidelity
An ode to the root of all evil
Staggered stupor,
Dripping poison from the serpent's tongue
Heated memories, tentative bites,
Broken homes.
Dreams swallowed by shattered spikes
Heightened sugar rush,
Frantic gestures,
A reckless tango,
Changing tides,
A newfound gift to be held
Soon to be torn apart
A strand of hair,
Crooked past reflections
The forbidden fruit of artificial boundaries
A tangled web of repetitive excuses
Decisive nods
Barren walls,
Torn frames,
Passive regrets,
Tightened knots,
A gust of wind,
Fin.

Sitting at the turntables,
The sound is the interchangeable,
The volume stirs,
The lyrics become blurry lines,
The channeling of the headphones and speakers,
It’ll be my last dose of the day and night.
The beat is still there,
The 808 rhythms,
My hips begin to move,
My arms begin to raise ,
Alone… I feel my personal rhythm vibrate.
With each and every gaze of the mirror I hate,
I begin to lose myself and encounter the serum of intimacy.
The 808’s come again,
Sucker punching my soul to match the tone,
Ough! My thoughts are deep beneath my bones,
Step by step I feel it coming,
The electrostatic symphony in my soul,
Surging through my breast,
A speaker wave travels through my fingertips.
This language becomes a buzz,
Sweat drips from my hair onto the crystal floor,
I swirl to the turntables and raise the volumes some more,
The 808’s are hitting me harder than then ever before.
I was always told I could kick it to the baseline,
With a body so aroused I feel the momentum making me numb,
Another step and I climaxed at the 808’s mixture,
Another round at the turntables and I hear the 808’s final whispers.

So the clouds parted with the storm:
"This isn't us, this isn't our norm"
Seemed like no one wanted company
From someone they once depended for glee

The world spins and fear turns into hate and hate boils over into blood and blood spills and innocence finds itself taken away into the arms of death and mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers are left with emptiness in their hearts and its becoming too much to bare and I wonder what can we do to change the winds of fate from fanning the flames of ignorance and intolerance and if it isn't greed perpetuating the gears of war what is the reason we still fling bombs and bullets and sacrifice our youths instead of non-violent intellectual debate and if we have the capacity to grow and learn why is that we choose to blindly go where we know no one wins by teaching our kids the same hate filled rhetoric on broken down turntables spewing fear filled songs of hate calling for some unknown enemies blood were on some heroic battlefield taking a strangers life isn't an act of ****** but done for the good of the people in name of god and country and if ****** is being done for the good of the people can we really call ourselves good people and what is the point in saying all men are created equal when at some point in life it becomes so easy for some to believe they are superior in some shape or form over someone of a different color a different *** a different faith a different taste a different social class and its killing me to see so much misery in a world that at this point and in this day of age we have had the ability to evolve into a more compassionate and empathetic species but we hold onto bad habits and old crimes all while trying to bleed a dime from a dead penny and every one would rather pull the blinders tighter to their heads and look the other way because it's business as usual and a shame is a shame but what you going to do in a world that spins and spins no matter how horrific the 24 hour news turns from day to day and it seems life's best bet is a bet against us because lets face it the birds and the bees and the trees will all sing songs of peace when all of us are gone baby gone but I got to wonder if even death would deny taking us all in fear of knowing wherever we go we're bound to **** it all up again and again and again and...
