“Russian tea cakes, Kedem grape juice, fresh bread and butter. Nutritional drinks? - wait? left-over candy canes.
Went to my store today.
On the fancy side of town.
Gonna go back to see the lions
Walk on the street
With the big, fancy houses
With my dog
She likes the lions
Statues,
And Christmas lights and
wide grassy landscape.
All around
Summit Avenue
My lost and found
Probably so many people’s lost and found
The AA house
big, on the corner
Haunted House
If you lose yourself, you can find
yourself here.
Gonna write on my old computer
This old monsteur
Got a new one, but now she’s old too.
Got a sort of cracked, fucked up screen.
Now need a new one.
No money. No money to be had.
Gonna get myself a book deal
Gonna get myself a book deal.
The ghetto’s going rich!
Going rich for real!
My old store, my old corner store. In my mixed area. Too scary today. To get my sodas and other play treats.
Party time.
Party time.
Time for a rhyme.
Rhyme and dine.
Rhyme and dine.
My Russian tea cakes.
on the guest bed.
Laptop
Rhyme and dine!”
