Sometimes I Feel Like Kanye, Sometimes It’s Brautigan
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life, you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate the moment until it's passed. - Kanye West
To paraphrase a mirror, I am more centered than I initially appear.
Sometimes I feel
like Kanye,
sometimes I don't.
First couple lines
of a poem
I didn't write.
Wrote those lines
back when I could
feel like Kanye.
When I was allowed.
Before we found out
he wasn't just crazy,
he be stoopid, too.
Evil maybe.
Sometimes
with all your genius
reverse thinking
you end up just
fucking yourself.
Jesus, Ye.
Why
you have to
go
do that?
If you get hung up on everybody else’s hang-ups, then the whole world’s going to be nothing more than one huge gallows.
Richard Brautigan
an actual style god
whose look
never grows old.
Dick, Ye and moi
trio of black guys
trying our hand
at the three-card Monty
of life.
We walk in the bar
and
what the fuck -
how can I
be the best dressed?
Ye gives me the eye,
Dick gives me the eye,
I give'em each
an eye back.
Evil maybe.
That's my favorite shirt
Ralph Lauren turtle-neck
cost me $4.50
at a second-hand store.
When my hair grows
grey bush exploding,
Found that hat
in a seedy laundromat.
Nothing else
offers proper cover.
And
another poem
goes unfinished.
