Alligators

I confess your body
is distracting,
physical with mine.
I am afraid of your Smart

don't mark me
with your idea of me
stop your Kind--
forget me.

Please,
my meat is deep and wide
populated by alligators
chameleoned by
distance,
flesh, and
lies.

don't get so excited
I'm not so Diamond as you think.
what
do you think?

get close
feel my coarse,
dirty pores

better off unencumbered
by your Dote
couldn't be bothered to fake
my Fake.

  1. im at an underground hip hop festival this weekend, so this struck me instantly as good strong rap. ha... not sure you were going for that, but i dig the flow. and, as i have come to expect, your coarse images are jarring and incredible.
