Can I hear the travestied music in the streets!: A poem 

Out on the street with no name, 

a rookie approached me and asked me a question: 

Would I name it? It was an alley to posterity! 

I brushed him aside; he fell like a rock  

into a puddle. I won’t even name the meteor 

that fell at Mecca as an omen of my future! 

You should know that every time  

I spell my own doom, I am doing battle! 

And that when you think I have withdrawn 

I am licking my wounds, to parry again! 

You may think I am a fink, but I am far too 

better than the felon (fer-de-lance) (PSP). 

I am one-eyed, but who is that creature with a multitude of them? 

My glass doesn’t ever fall from the sky into the abyss 

And even, if it falls, it can never be shattered, you must all know? 

Perseverance is the knack that provides the programs of perpetuity! 

I lasted out like an eternal volcano like this, 

potent and dormant and latent and then, even more explosive! 

You know the sands of time can become ironical quicksands 

when you have to smote a friend and befriend an enemy 

Because when you have too many enemies, your aspirations are at risk 

Even if they should be nobody else’s business 

You know, they (the scumbags) may want to poke their tongues in your bum, 

on your feet, on your shins, on your dick, on your back, 

on your chest. Because their fishy mouths have a taste for you! 

How you repulse at this undesirable fellatio! 

How, sometimes, you have to withstand it?! 

So, I am just swinging on the lines of my lyrics, my poems, 

staking no claims, until the moment for the missive! 

You know God’s word is never ignored, it is manipulated!

Even when I step out on the streets, there are too many travesties, 

Just when I go to every store, I witness a treachery!  

And if all else fails, they resort to stealing my identity!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
