Written at Night |
It’s glorious |
Quiet beauty (Shh) |
Silent stirs |
Black like garbage bags in the night |
Dark corners of light, glimmers |
In and out of sleep on the way home |
The first time seeing it, seeing this part of town or that part dark |
Sparked but it’d be years apart before I called it art |
I’m the first one to see the sunrise, this one’s mine |
Two for the price of one, I’ve seen both suns in one day |
While this untamed |
The randomness can leave you thinking for a long time |
Out all night, it’s just right |
Quarters and payphones, but no ones home (wah?) |
Sleep like I should be, but I’m a would be, could be city kid |
Instantly paying dues and bids |
My future rests on no beds |
Like the first time that I saw it |
Pitch dark, fluorescent light, ships through the night |
Each step is more toward paranoia (watch out) |
But peace is in the autonomy of these choices |
Danger is freedom, fear on my behalf is emboldening |
Like I carry all the concern with me |
Strengthening my stance in every step, collected breath |
I did this (me) |
And when I finally do lay down my head |
You’re best to know I found my life’s calling till I’m dead (till I’m dead) |
I was smoking all night |
I was smoking all night |
Never missed a flight |
Carry-on full of old soul |
Everything cool still, climate control |
I was soaring all morning |
I was soaring all morning |
Louder in a bong |
Captain on the intercom |
Surrogate sunrise on silver wing |
I know the dreams that silver bring |
Came through with riddles for kings |
White man at the feet of the sphinx |
Brought low as the sun rose |
High as the sky fell |
Prepare for landing, unbuckle seat belt |
Gravity is my copilot |
Iron island in the iris |
Lego city from here so pretty |
Take pity Lord, don’t let them get me |
Russian nail, concrete charcoal clouds |
Choppy water, drab Mexican brown |
What goes up |
Goes up |
Just breaking the first forty-eight in |
The conversation broke innovation |
None will be recalled yet lost with greatness, patience |
Light years measured here, be clear |
You block him I pin holes in |
Pupils sweating, heavy satin packing luggage |
Posted Joe public in this private setting |
Letting it all get to me now |
It all fits in the saying |
Breath of fresh air is cooler now than the AM |
If I close down shop now |
I could’ve been space and time minus the old bloke in a lab coat |
In his bubble that’s the companion |
The man that was the horizon to peep his light show, a siren |
Fly new rounds doing back flips through my synapses |
At this junction |
Veterans in the style of loud consumption |
Puffing, puffing you got the Faust? |
now |
Stopped in the crowd on rooftop when 2Pac dropped |
Walking the line between D-Pac? |
and slutty money shots |
Commotion at this hour could be the slightest snap of an oak twig |
Channeling the John McClane Haley Jo sent (I see dead people) |
When the sun rise my walk in life might parallel hypnosis |
Against advice from tonight’s attorney I take two more sips |
And try to gauge which danger unseen remains the closest |
Here lies yesterday, tomorrow and today |
Here lies the month, next year and years away |
Here lies our latest attempt at eternity before daybreak |
When too early coexists with too late (too late) |
Name | Year |
