260. Hit it.

I might be moving back to my tumblr starting this summer. This blog is getting eatin up by spambots and I don't really know how to fix all that. Maybe I'm lazy but maybe I just need a change of pace. Plus everyone seems to be on the tumblr ish and I can update it from the iPhone easier. Okay now here I go.


I been waitin around all year for the summer.
The fact that it's not here yet is a bummer.
I hear that there is more rain in the forecast - grab a number.
Got the whole block thinking how did she do it
I even have people who never knew me thinking through it.
Wake up each morning with a little shot of water
I leave the drinking and the smoking to people who have no alma-mater.
And you just got schooled.
Just because I have no formal training doesn't mean I'm fooled.
I don't really like parties.
The last time I went to one I came back smelling like bacardi...lemon.
It's seven, the clock moves so slowly
and all the people in this room live the life of a lowly-
one, and this is how it's done.
I have 27 poems that I've gotta rap into one.
I sent out my stuff to hear a reply from one
saying I think you can making just keep writing for fun.
So I sit inside my cave picking apart me coming undone.
And it's all for the art.
Never knew that once I started it would all just fall apart.
I sit and dream of one day everyone finishing and me still at the start.
I sit and dream of an island - one that I've named.
Different is what I strive for while you just stay the same
in the tight little group that makes the world just go insane
and I have no one to blame if I fail at this craft
I see a million others try to tread while I sit inside my raft
because I float with the best of em
I'm the flower you're the stem
You stay awake and I'm R-E-M -
deep dreamer, word screamer
girl wonder, wonder of words
never believe all of what you've heard
Don't try this at home unless you know
You're running out of places and this is the last to go.
Adios.
