I gotta get outta here.

Ya, rockin' the brown shoes, green socks, black pants and navy sweater today again. Gettin' my mis-match on. You know how we do. Listen up trickstas, I thought I told ya.

O.K, anyways, enough of that. Oh ya, I've decided to call you guys "Class". As in,

Class, Excuse me, Class! Listen up. Um, Quiet Please. Ryan Phillips, If I have to tell you one more time to stop,..I'm going to,... What did you say to me? Stephaine Wilkinson turn that Phone off. I swear, do you guys even want to learn? Please turn your Poetry books to page,......

Things of that nature.

We'll see.

So I'm finishing up On The Road and have been getting this overwhelming feeling to flee the premises. Man that R.Kelly was brilliant. What was it that he said? "Spread your wings and fly away". What a great man, poet, visionary. Vacate this area my man. Clear my head. Tired of working for the man. Here we go, you know a poem is coming. Once I start, I can't stop. Trying to keep my head above the water, stay a float. Dean (Moriarty) minus the drugs, you're my hero for your individualism and ultimate pursuit of total freedom. I'll never be as brave as you. Sal Paradise, you man you. He went to such great lengths to be inspired for his art. Well, maybe. I don't know. Maybe he was just trying to get his kicks, we'll see, I haven't finished yet. O.K. Class is almost over, but before I dismiss please read this and discuss with a total starnger sometime today. That's all for homework. And remember, I will dismiss you, not the bell.


*help me keep my mind occupied*

I've never sought to impress with comedies
wouldn't they just turn out to be tragedies,
or maladies?
how different are the poets in hip hop
from indie rock?
I thought it was Art in the form of a spot
to the imagination
Are those the thoughts of our Nation?
or are we too consumed with inflation?
this won't reach the masses,
folks worry about the price that gas is.
Poets, Writers, Artists, Muscians not
Criminals, Cheaters, Liars & Politicians
should occupy the slot, during the 6 o'clock.

Is a healthy mind
worth the time
it takes, to recognize
the difference it makes
to our daily grind
to be inspired
and not conspired against
by certain white men
in our government?

I hope these words ring true.
It's seldom that they're few
& far between, one day
I'll know what they mean.
