Incomplete high rap stuff
High, my name is, as a kite, Cody is.
Don't slip or trip on the box elder bugs
that slurp up the sludge seepin' out your feet,
like you're sweating Smuckers, purple,
out your sneakers, sans the nut butter.
Bit the bun, but don't be beatin' the bread
you knead, kneelin' on bubble wrap
and bending needles with your but cheeks.
Check it, while Charlie chirps a chorus in
the chappel, Chuck is cackling there in the
backroom, butt fuckin' loud enough to
smell it in the foyer.
Denying Sirens
Sirens may lament when we don't consent
To lose our will to their woeful, wishful wooing;
But if incline our ears, we'll crumble straight to dust.
All our space for pleasure, our capacity for joy
will be filled to the stretching point,
and will fall bagged and limp in a jaded heap.
Our curiosity and motivation will melt and slip
through our clutching fingers like soaped quicksilver.
We'll be forced to live without fuel for interest,
move without heart to pump and pull up our muscles
to animate our atrophying limbs.
Those days they barely do, we'll lumber aimlessly
with our senses cemented shut, bashing through the streets
like bull or falling boulders, numb and dumb as
rock hard carcasses, good as their tomb of dirt.
We'll fall into the pit of the yawning gap
the siren's song rang full in us like a gong inflating
a circus tent, until the persistence of the resonance
dissolved the poles that held it up.
Like a black hole we'll lose the light of the
outside world, and turn inside to empty spaces
where our lips, ever sucking, come up dry and dusty,
our straining eyes at a loss for any luster.
We'll hiss right into nothing, be rust and cobwebs
on the doorknob to nowhere, a whisper of "was"
with an echo of "never."
