Premium MemberWRITE A BEAT TO MYSELF- DEDICATED VERSE FOR SHASTA SIMMS Shasta Simms

In my recommendation of my syncopation 
Gathering of humanoids rhythmic sensations
 copulation dramatization rescape Rufus reggae beats

Ginuwine Drumline rat a tat tat 
attack on this yet you're all that 
Blilighten crest  muscles flex
myself being sweet to myself
 I can release by myself 
when I'm by myself
 I am the glory of the rhythm person above and below dancing in the streets walking
Attuned yet sleeping awaken in summers dream

I witness 
as I write this 
Boom a bout' a bing  drum beat
Tis beat mi rhythm my
Mine boom ta bangity crept 
As I, write a beat to myself

Cicadas buzz
Yawn and stretch in warm sun
Bright eyes see magnolia trees

Fireflies twinkle
Magic song of stars
Like suspended bits of glitter
Flash Dance

Buzzing
Grasshopper tunes
Vibrate like a drumline 
Invites lovers to sing along
Duets

Chirping
Katydids trill
Rhythmic beats of improv
In pulsating choruses 
Of blues

Soft downbeats
Solstice troubadours sing alto

Premium MemberWho Knew

I sometimes find it hard to believe
that there is anyone more ignorant than me.
Listening to the drumline in an old song,
newly discovered patterns that go along,
although I have heard the piece countless times before.
I then learn there are many aware of such lore.

I listen to two women talk and realize the edge
and the depth of their assumptions and knowledge
of the human condition far exceeds that of mine,
despite I so exceed them in years of time.

I often wonder how many tolerate
and humor me for old time's sake,
and secretly think, "Well, maybe someday,
someday, he will finally find his way.
