Shall I speak,
hip-hop
talk like a near top sop
pop like the cop,
Swat?
Dead kid lying in the street;
the blood flowing in a colorful stream,
towards the man-hole cover.
Once we cross the Ancient river
the paths of home
are never quite the same:
Amber on white bone,
ivory tickle me sweet
I handle the straw with a spoon.
The FBI monitor in room 9
has nothing much to do,
watch the phones,
eat glass
egress, digress
unless they trespass,
undress
like his wife
at the Sheik's request.
Shall I pop hip-hop
scry?
Shall I?
too many rivers to cross.
Kid's still dead in the street,
cop got a smoking gun.
Pop. Hip-hop.

sadly, I am old enough to be reminded of a grinning maynard g. krebbs doing something like this on the bongos. but I don't want to go back that far. would much rather hang with eminem.
you ever notice how hip hop covers up the sadness?

Hey, I love Mermaid's suggestion for this piece, you should go somewhere you can do that!
And even as I lay this against the backing track
and my fingers and toes go click, clack - click, clack
The picture fades to black before the torch illuminates
And shows the horror of a life now well known to the beat
To the click, click - clack of this cop show chit-chat
Meanwhile the neighbours four year old
Plays click-click-clack
With a little plastic revolving invention...
And his sister hits record on the video tape -
hehehe
Started out happy hip hop boo bop whatever and then suddenly took a dark turn. Nice. I really like the voice in this one. You have such a trippy mind.

Okay, this is definitly a spoken word piece. Smokey dim-lit room and a bongo beat in the back with a bunch of cats all dressed in black snapping their fingers upon conclusion. That's wild man! Just wild!
