Poem
When I was in High School I felt it. Then something happened. Year 2001— Fresh-ness… Dr. Dre produced you. You were fearless. Slim Shady— Eminem— Marshall Mathers. Colorless rainbows speckled eyes. I know why I had a problem with you. Jealousy…? Rap envy was. I wrote during photography developing. Youthful ignorance hid in dark rooms. Lusting towards replication originally ignorant I was. Was I? I am not that much different than you. My awkward association with your… You’re going to change the world. Not I… That is— Only if I allow you— How? You are I and I am… Whatever you say to me? Say I am and you are. We become less. Only if I allow you how— I thought about you. Think about it. Give me a particle. Particulate time— Five minutes of you. Forever to me— Timeless are our words. Wordless is what you settle for. You settle for less. I am asking you straight up. Will you change the world? I have the antidote. You, Mr. Mathers— Slim Shady— Eminem— Marshall, please; I’m asking you straight up. Who am I? Nobody’— Well, I have to be somebody because I… Ironic Zinc (me*) have already squashed nobody. What? It’s simple. Changing the world isn’t easy. Nobody is… For lack of a better word; inhumane— Mr. Zinc, may I ask you to elaborate; please? Yes, no problem. Allow me how. When nobody’s looking; You are. ME? Yes you! We us, them, they, all of humanity— You are them. I am them. We are all them. Especially when nobody’s looking; You are. I am. We are whatever they say we are. In the paper— In the news— Everyday, we…? Slim Shady didn’t elaborate. The radio doesn’t air truth. Air Truth… Dare Air Truth… How dare Air Truth? Eminem I dare you! To change the world— How? Only if… Only if you— Only if I allow you how! Who am this I? Ironic Zinc is. Eminem is about to become. You are whomever you may. We are about to change. The world… Me being a “Nobody”— Some no is. Yes-body some may. I am Ironic Zinc. A real poet— I dare Eminem to lead. My final sentence will be questionable. Mr. Mathers, will you please take me up on my inquisition? I need your humanity. Similar to the way I felt it today during my drive home from work on the radio. I believe you were doing a short interview with RedMan on Slim Shady has humility. Ironic Zinc appreciates that raw, realism. I am Ironic Zinc. Eminem, I dare you to become heroic. Ask me and I will share with you. Everything that you allow me how— Marshall Mathers, you are more important than you may understand. If only I allow you how to be. Will you allow it how-? Peace inn… Ironic Zinc 11-11-15 (Thank you Eminem!)
