Just you

And I

And broken down high

Is a place that we left Garden left in sty

For there’s always some skin out here Raving

My Guy

Or another old fassbinder plotting the lie

All trappers aren’t keepers but some of these guys

Are Hushed up like Sneakers clouding up their eyes

For black boys like my friends got AKA’ed

And for size

“Get away from me ___” and when she said BOY

We were all quite surprised!

“Fuck you Gump Ass Bitch!”

Pounded Dumb Ass

Side of cries

Because Kid Rock’s not my dad

Live the Movies

Live Lives

And my very best friends know me

For these poems have Live

But not lightning crashes⚡️

Live sucks fuck those guys

And pussy door radio rock

Not surprised

I come home Pittsburgh still the land of the Clark’s

The Hot Mass is great when Steph spins the dark

For she is Formosa Queen of the LBGT Tarts

Like Davina and Lena who come through and start

To shake and move and Hana Suki miss marks

On the notes they can’t hit because time doesn’t start

When you’re selling them blow and can’t tell them apart

When even STEVE slang some white on a night in a club

Where the hours came after the music was done

And slid coke go Real Gaze

The World we knew is Done

For agency never was Job #1 but I wish I had stopped a few times in my run

To say Babe can you turn me the Son said we’ve won

Playing a game being Dad not to One

Bret saved us all History under his Thumb

For the Stones he had to meet me at least once a week

We’d argue bout songs and sometimes we both would freak

But we’re both way high strung different ways so to speak

Analyze noise core over Bong rips

STEVE you big fucking Freak
