...ts on a slave "Ship"
The Great One is the name I "Inherited"
For my "Greatness"
How many you know with the name "Elevation"

More like Doug Funny they comfy with a Clown "Face"
Cause when I walk the ground "Shakes"
Not even on my worst "Day"
Born on a "Thursday"
Since...

I am all edges, no single curve
So rough all around, so badly wrong.

Today Is Her Birthday
...Today is her birthday
I don't know what to say
Besides the obvious "Happy Birthday"
But what should I do?
Got flowers
Well dressed
Tie and Suit
Bought a few karats of gold for her neck
Money...

Egyptian Burials
...Earthenware,
Gently coated with 24 karats,
Lungs, innards, entrails, liver,
The heart left untouched,
Untainted,
Egyptian burials,
Wrapped in cheesecloth....
