lyrics
[Chorus]
bottle me in flasks made by kilns of blue skies,
alloyed metal mixed with ashes,
bridges burnt by eyes,
cyclops mule,
disparate tool,
the foil of aluminum demons
screaming macbook titanium
in darkest population’s organ,
break-beating sun
navy yard gun
shut down at a Cruz-in’ rhythm,
and then some
[Verse One]
jewelry tree
fruit strangely
with crystal clear flasks,
supremacist agribusiness cosigned
to a topaz contract,
subsidized inelastic,
supply rate of Herman Cain’s hood pass
purchased my Black Body Mass Index,
inverted the course crash.
101, tire blown, of the loud, with frequency thrown,
bent off the guilt-based miscegenation
in my family album,
as the middle of
Malcolm in the middle
of a window
holding a rifle and
talcum,
caked my ass white to
be privy to certain outcomes,
private mouthers got my soft curls on their tongues,
cotton lipped gin and tonic
as up-votes and like-thumbs,
a TED talk on Tumblr kids profiting from complexion,
degrees of ambivalence striking that mitochondria.
aggressively, ethnically ambiguous,
academically rigorous,
study me times,
limitless,
taxonomy your
perennial bucket list.
well notate it,
jot me down,
your contrived, prefixed pronouns,
speaking me into existence,
try to bifurcate my sound.
fuck it.
[Chorus]
[Verse Two]
(warming down the instrument,
pen, lit, matched fabrics;
faberge atlas cracked at the mast’s lattice)
work, work,
put in work.
peon,
but the word’s pay dirt
(crafted for abstract assholes
with preferences for the earth)
grounded underground sound camps
pitching tent fortresses
at the speed limit off-ramps,
acumen of a pseudo-gramps
granted plus a whopper malt flask
(blast, my plans in the trash)
assonance to smash together atom ants,
subscribed to subterranean travel agents,
no scope,
crouch to avoid radar and a plastic black acronym yoke
(the rope around the spokes
of a CEO dope
groped taut
only to keep him afloat)
Published quote:
that masked vigilante elopes post-print,
reflecting on his namesake,
the modest,
induced chagrin
(plume fountain pen, been circulating
them trade winds,
astrolabe’s that bookmark
’til the drift translates his end)
fuck it
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
shitting in the bathroom
on behalf of bad cabbage,
savage asterisk list, average,
means multiply the corn,
flake, ranges, domain
of border equations
on the porcelain
flushing hydro-gentrification,
stain streak racing,
pant leg aviating,
(vegan gas station,
free trade diesel)
dial lather for a preview,
Sunbelt exit,
congressman in situ
the definition of idiosyncratic; a beautiful, raw odyssey through depersonalization and free association against the canon and toward a new one Rhys Langston
