A Reading Sample (Collected in Eros in Sanskrit)
Letter in Lady Day Spring Tones
We told you slingin’ rhymes & tellin’ jokes/talkin’
about time served while sellin’ folks toasts could get you violated
& now you’re waitin’ in Brooklyn County Detention waitin’
to get de-loused or pronounced brain dead en route to the Big House:
scuffled (don’t say it snuffed out)/shuffled off to Buffalo/man,
that kid could dance/C-6/moonwalk/third tier/hung himself from the commissary
chandelier/last year/ B-7/disappear/ glory war stories/ pimpin’
hos on heaven street/singin’ doo-wop mijo & Lord-son: runnin’
a deadbeat scheme of cosmic slop instead of a sweet sumpin sumpin nice
& neat.
