* "poems are bullshit unless they are teeth" - Amiri Baraka

I call B.S. on that quote from my good brother, R.I.P.*

'least for me - poems don't need to be teeth, in fact they should be more like tongues.

tongues never crack, get rotten, fall out, need pulling, or grow plaque which destroys gums;

they're the silent, purposeful guardians for whatever deigns to enter the citadel of your body,

protecting its temple of taste from all untowardly invaders, alongside its noble knight, sir nose**.

nosiree, bob - i'll have my poems, like tongues, probe the landscape of whatever is drawn nigh (…within reason!)

& report whatever's found fair or foul;

leaving me in the enviable position of controlling my own border.

i also happen to posess a decent jab & left hook, uppercut, a straight right cross

plus two size 11's for bootin, should the need ever arise

so i'll leave my teeth to their role in the mastication nation

& for charmin' a fair one now & again when I flash 'em with a smile.

my poems aim to tease out the tantalizing amongst 'ya

& show you just where all the tasty treats are - with or without pemtameters. * 12/24 - lebuc - aural hygene *

Funkadelic: “Not Just Knee Deep” Pts. I & II German 7″ (1979)

Right then and there it’s the father of De La Soul’s “Me Myself And I” (1989) where Posdnuos, Trugoy, Maseo and (ultimately) Prince Paul took plenty of elements from “Not Just Knee Deep” and put that ball into hip-hop’s court. This was one of the many essential pieces of the puzzle that made De La-’s breakout single and 3 Feet High And Rising which helped put Amityville, Long Island on the hip-hop map.

Imagine being Boothill’s sweetheart before everything went up in flames… he didn’t think you survived, but you did somehow, and you managed to get away from the terror and the flames. And he meets you again, in some far corner of the galaxy.

He’s a galaxy ranger now, with a body made of metal and a core where his heart should be. But he still feels something click when he looks at you, even from the corner of his eye. He doesn't believe what he's seeing at first— he thinks that it must be some bug in his system. Some trick of the light. But despite his doubts he feels his feet move from under him, walking first, then running, until he's pushing other people out of the way and damn near sprinting to get to you before you disappear.

And oh, when he manages to reach you— manages to stop you with a hand on your shoulder, he almost can't believe his eyes. He takes his hat off and presses it to his chest, the same way he had done when he asked for your hand a lifetime ago.

If he could cry, he thinks, he’d be a blubbering mess. 

Because it is you. Because he'd recognize the curve of your cupid's bow and the shine in your eyes even from across a cosmos. Because you're here, against all odds and despite every nightmare he's had. You're here, and you're just as lovely as the day he lost you.
