Those guys took me by surprise
They stormed into my eyes
Upon static horses
They say "hey you like to play chess
Hey you like to play chess,
Get undressed,
Get undressed,
Hey you like to play chess
Hey you like to play chess,
How about a grape?
How about a grape?"
Back then one of my eyes
Was browner than green
And everything that I touched,
And everything that I'd seen
Was so obscene, it was black,
And when I went to my friends
And I said to them:
"Hey do you see what I see?"
They gave me a pack of cigarettes,
and a pat on the back
They said "Hell no,
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do we see what you see?
Do you know what we know?
We live here in this small town
We shop at the same store
We all know the same girls
We eat popcorn with our parents
On Sunday, and watch
Steve Martin Comedies."
(I replied)
"Well shit, shit, sorry about that,
I thought you were my friends
I thought you were into Fellini,
I thought you were into Mozart,
I thought you smoked cloves."

this was amazing.......i don't even know what to say. i loved the lyrics they were great but what does chess have to do with this? shit you make me want to start asking my friends questions so that i can make sure that they are truely my friends. the imagery you created is great. i love it. keep up the good work
-
good lyrics, as usual from you.
but i'm still not sure where a chess game enters into it.
maybe thats a metaphor for something that went over my head.
(by the way, I tried clove cigarettes once, I thought they were nasty). -
pretty intereseting and quirky but im left with some questions about what you wanted me to get from it!

completly nuts but enjoyable...
the best bit without doubt was the close...
"Well shit, shit, sorry about that,
I thought you were my friends
I thought you were into Fellini,
I thought you were into Mozart,
I thought you smoked cloves."
why would anyone do that.. smoke cloves... cant be good for u
nutts -
Amazing.
-
Interesting poem. I particularly a lot of the imagery you've created. I especially like the phrase "static horses." That creates a couple of really neat images in my mind. Thanks for sharing.

ohhh verry multimedia... i liked it.. but im not sure its my cup of tee..
respek anyway
-
Hey, very cool poem. Like other people have mentioned above, no one ever truly understands things that an artist sees. I liked this though because it was different and interesting. I must say that it was the title that attracted me to reading it. Nice job with this!
-
Ah yes, life through the eyes of the artist and no one else ever seems to understand. it's kinda crazy in there. interesting use of music u have against ur narration. i found it oddly intriguing and i've never heard anything like it before.
-
Wow, leaves me speechless
-
This is great, the lyrics use ordinary words that hold a deep meaning behind them. This is simply great.
-
That was really amusing, not what I thought at first.
I did get the impression of echo/resonation when you repeated some of those lines, and when I listened (yes I did listen) I found out I was right.
The bells were a good effect too.
For some reason it reminded me of The Outsiders. -
Have I listened to it? Not yet. I will though. Great poem.
-
Did you hear it?
-
Did you listen to it?
-
excellent
i liked it...it had a fascinating narrative which made me pause and them move on and keep reading...good sense of rhythm in the language of the lyric...i like how you used idiosyncratic details to paint a familiar picture...excellent work... -
Good job lol...and don't we all want to smoke cloves? Mmmmhmmm...nice
-
Did you listen to it by clicking on the lnk?
-
Very funny poem. And the photograph adds so much to this. Methinks that you would do very well at a slam. It's not a great poem, but an adequate poem. However, you do entertain. I look forward to sseing your other work.
