So …
Do you think I am crazy?
Have you ever asked what I feel
after i play the Djembe?
Being trained by the best …
some famous and revered in their countries.
This is the Just Sayin’ post.
I am trollingmyself.
Doxxing my mind.
So …
Do you think I may be a liability?
Have you ever thought to ask
what Sun Ra told me
when I called him on the phone?
We used to talk for hours …
I mostly listened!
He was the elder,
I, the faithful dervish.
This is selfish talk.
I can only keep quiet for so long.
Boxing my soul.
So …
You’re afraid to include me?
I would be afraid too!
I have exposed hypocrisy freely;
what have you against that?
Have you ever talked with God?
Met Rumi in the mosque on 4th street?
Me neither!
I did meet with Shams.
He was on the public bus.
Hanging out with Thomas Merton.
Spitting dope verse.
So, you have a PHD and a MFA.
I have also
Piled it High and Deep!
I also have
a Masters of Fine Absurdity.
I guess you’re going
to be critical of
the very institutions that
named and made you!
And, I would too.
Be Careful with that.
Biting your own hand.
Shitting in your own cornflakes
is a dangerous position to take.
So …
Do you think I’m nuts?
I have been in the state mental institution,
and to the end
of that darkness some speak of.
I killed myself more than once.
Sufis do that, so do Buddhists and Catholic monks.
And this is egocentric!
Death is nothing to play with.
I have friends who are ghosts.
So, you think I’m nuts?
So, you have a PHD and a MFA?
So, your afraid to include me?
So, you think I may be a liability?
So, you think I am crazy?
Well,
If you are offended, defensive
or questioning why i might suggest
this verse or you feel guilty …
That is why we are not getting anywhere.
I know the taste
of my own foot.
I and I
Rasta …
This is a prayer.
Like Job, Like Jesus,
Like Joe Hill … Noah
Eugene V …
Like
You.
Amen and Women too …
