part 2 of 2
8 No Love in the Heart of Town
Hot summer day
Fetty Wap heavy rotates
Done pretendin' to find a God charades
Besides feelin' not havin to try, nothin's changed
Jumped in 1 after another place
Robbed different ways
Just lookin' for that hazy summer lake, under the tree shade
9 Sunset
Frequencies and wavelengths
Through certain rivers human waste fish
Grassland swamp gasses on the way out the Secaucus train lift
I guess for what time'll forget to say, you shouldn't've waited
10 Texts
Your skin's got tanned more than a bit beige
Past this time before we've stayed
It's already dark
A mess my room and head are
I'm just layin' down in bed
The air conditioner's to the coldest set
My phone plays music that I'm listenin' to on my chest
This heart pumps the sqwak's of seagulls at sundown but you could feel the stress
Then as well, the smallests of moments spent'll carry on in our steps
A couple of flashbacks stuck of what you had said
I reach for the chilled water and receive a notification of 1 of your texts
We met the loneliest of nights in a cold winter
Those summer vibes have been 'er
She's a girl just like you but brown
Ever findin' her I'm not sure of in my small town
11 Anime
Iriko dashi in the air from a miso soup steam
On a table's unsweetened green tea
Black wave curl locks shag on tan skin
Black, a bit round and square frames tipped over half shut brown eye's lids
A light grey hoodie and burgundy joggers transition from Osaka to skater fit
12 Skateboards, Weed and Rap
"Yo, yo, it's the cops, run's!" not what i ever tried to hear
Gettin' busted for somethin' so mere?
How times wasted findin' better deals, you'd think it took place by the piers
Now, it's not so much of the dream it would be, that it's near

Audrey Oakwoods Poem
footnotes
im tryina finish another 20 page chapbook
this is the first part of 2 of what i got so far because its too long for 1
then sneak is thin
an inch is in
transition is trinsition
Riverside
1 The Watchtower
Embryos and fluids
More sez smoke than a Buddhist
Not such a bad idea have the nudists
Never has Alicia Silverstone looked so clueless
2 The Fall
A bright sun comes out with its heat
Then, a cool breeze
On Howe ave, nana's place
Frosted Flakes
They say that time's money but really I'm just tryina waste away
3 '08
Peers all smokin' weed
Talks about how fun it'd be
Just turnin' 16
Google then sneak
About the 10th session later, lit deemed
Gettin' hooked a bit seems
Somewhere to smoke, not too but
quietly
4 August
16 years old, shoutin' and screamin'
A head full of dreams dreamin'
The sun beamin'
Sweat off of skin steamin'
5 Open Letter
Enough mistakes made
Seemin' to relate fades
From the old ways, change
For what have may placed
6 Lost
There's the bridge, to the right
Just over a hill, a cold winter 3rd Ward night
It's dark but a bit lit
A snow storm with an inch
Not too many but just a few people on their way
Not too late
On such a lost path
All that's left behind's so sad
7 Hope
Nothin's permanent these days
Not countin' on much besides tryina get paid
Never's known whatll go which way
Love blind without feelin' betrayed
