The Pacific and the Speaker
"THE PACIFIC AND THE SPEAKER"
$260.00 in my bank account.
34 years old.
240 pounds.
2 failed relationships,
well there were more than 2.
what I’m referring to is the
ones that produced children.
as the Midnight Special plays
to my Pacific, I speak truth
about these two whores.
they chose the cock over me
and the kids.
God said there would be
trials and tribulations.
did my trials make my
tribulations?
did my tribulations make my
trials?
I’m $200.00 closer to death,
34 years into asking what
I’ll leave behind.
240 pounds before I’m a dust
that can be blown away.
my boys.
my dear sweet boys,
Eddie, Robert and Addis.
you’re everything the world
knew I had.
the world I was born into is
not the same one all three of
you created for me.
if I never make any dreams
come true or save a life or
invent the next greatest
invention, be proud of your
old man anyway.
tell God to watch over me
wherever I end up.
