part of long poem /never completed

  • my big mouth you say /you wanna hear a poem /a lie / you / wanna hear another poet's work / in a cafe /without me by your side /you justa see me dead than on stage / horray for the twenty-eight years /we're finally alone / with the shopping cart /the one we never had back in indy / obstructing your prep area /like cheating on my diet / taking another dollar for a cheeseburger /or eating the end of the pot....

SONG OF JEALOUSY /SERIOUS FEAR AND INSECURITY

  1. i'M A THIRD CLASS CITIZEN LIVING IN A FIRST CLASS CITY /WEARING A FIRST CLASS SMILE / WONDERING HOW MY HUSBAND FEELS ABOUT THIRD WORLD WOMEN ON W/B'WAY RUBBING THEIR NIPPLES /PUTTING THEIR BUTTS IN HIS FACE /YET OUR LIPS TOUCH /A RITUAL /Hello and goodby kisses---

Eye of salt/smile/flies like undertow and die

  1. /MUMIA LOUIMA /DIALLO MUMIA /LOUIMA /DIALLO

OLD PIECE /1980 / gEORGIA/ THE WHIP AT PALISADES PARK WAS MY FAV

  1. tHE rOLLERCOASTER MAN AND THe Whip lady / appealing itself /stradling the red road /til mud fills the river /with holes to catch you and make you pale /What's good about death /you could live /and our children are afraid /one eye lunges out at me / in confusion / can you see the testing /where are we going to find goodness / we always jnow as truth / forgive me GOd / FORGIVE ME / YOU COULDN'T BE DOING BETTER WITH NO PLACE TO GO NOTHING TO DO...
