Long Aint Poems

Was it a cruel twist of fate?

This time was by insidious design.

Kind Of Blue (For Miles Davis)

Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx Ny 1991


Before they could lower Miles 
into the damp, dark ground

Thought they heard musical sounds

Before the Preacher could say
Turn your BiblesTo Acts,

CONVERSION

Everyday is a test, no rest, a contest, put up my best, I confess
Hardwired and tired, flawed with mud and mire, no liar but on fire

What my kids too often fail to notice,
and what I am guilty of weighing too lightly, 
to avoid timely discernment,
are contrasts in density of opportunity
and toxicity of risks
hidden within our values and disvalues
themselves.

Disvalues shallowly accepted...

Humus me? My vegetated chokes ingest!
(jokes all in jest)

Hard to believe, I orange in a lee
started life as barely visible speck!

Just in the course of healthy growing
season, this former minute nearly
microscopic entity developed into

There was this boy that I once knew 
So handsome, so sweet.

Lonely teardrops gasping for air...my funny valentine he's never there.

A sodden dreg with wooden leg is dancing for a dime,

to sacred psalms and other balms, all ticking with the time.

He’s 22, he’s almost through, he’s melted in his prime,

"We dont have forever to get it together"

Each day we wake up is a blessing
So why are we sitting up here stressing
Stressing about things we have no control
Not realizing who makes us whole
We walk around...

I’ve been runnin'

Out of breath,
cold sweat, lungs burnin'

But these legs, they move but they aint goin’ -
no place, no distance can be found between the chased and the chaser

So I pulled on my old boots and...
