underneath it all
i really
really love
me some mariah
or at least mariah
before the fake boobs
short skirts
and before she thought she was
a butterfly
but my newest thing with her
is that i feel
like in every photo
that she ever takes
whether smiling
or not
it looks
like between her teeth
shes asking someone
"Does this look okay"
tell me im wrong?

Du Bois Du Gurls

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

So my best friend is leaving me and going to Du Bois
for the weekend
personally
the country scares me
I dont drive
and being in any state
where I cant take public transportation
to get my ass to safety
freaks me out
my sister
lives by a lake upstate
I never visit
she thinks i hate the family
but her nearest store is a good
10 minute drive away
what if I get thirsty
I need to pray that jason voorhees
or michael meyers
can give me a ride
hell no
florida has delis all over
ny has bodegas
and LA has 711s all over
those are the states where I feel safe
at least for now
Ive never been to Du Bois
so I guess i cant judge
but it cant be that bad
the name makes me smile
imagine if all gays invaded
and made it their mecca
it would be fun
if they took the next town over
and named it Du Gurls
then let a ton of lesbians
come in and take over
wouldnt it be apropo
the sign can say
"Welcome to Du Bois Du Gurls- Take your pick"
someone should propose the idea
other then me
like I said
I dont do country

Ripe Cuban Mango

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Well im back from miami
what a beautiful place
ive been down 3 times
in the past 2 months
lucky me
Ive had dreams of living there since I was a kid
something draws me there
maybe its the sad
maybe its the heat
maybe its the half naked bodies
year round
or just the fact that it isnt
the bronx
ny
I dont see subways
or feel a cold breeze coming
I feel like I should be in LA
though Miami is more affordable
and closer to NY
incase things go wrong
im tired of new york
but I was born here
so who knows how long
I can really stay away once im gone
Miami has mangos
and no earthquakes
you are allowed to walk the streets
with a drink
as long as the cup is plastic
in LA you cannot jade walk
seriously
you can be on one side of the street
and not see a car for miles
but still wait for the light
just to avoid a $200 ticket
so life seems easier
more laid back
more debaucherous there
Ive lived my life always taking the safe
and stable route
just getting up and going
is scary as heck
but life is about chances right
I read a great quote while I was there this weekend
"go out on a limb, cause that is where the fruit is"
now whether that fruit is good or rotten, thats why my ass
wants to know.
is miami a rotten fruit thats pretty on the outside
or a ripe cuban mango?

Cross the Street

Image hosted by TinyPic.com
On a serious political note
The photo above is of a blow up bus
in england
its a double decker
what you see
is the second deck
gone
people continue to blow things up
its scary
you are safe nowhere
a friend asked why
why do they continue
to kill innocent people
but we seem to forget
then when someone is raised from youth
or a vulnerable state
to think a certain way
brainwashing becomes easy
its sad to see so much death in the world
thats why I dont read the paper
or watch the news
call me dumb if you must
but if its 5:30am and I just want to see
how cold it is outside
I dont want to see how many people
were blown up today
before my eye crud is even gone
I cant
I wont
I dont
want to deal with it
life is hard enough taking the subway everyday
inhaling smelly armpits
much least worrying
about getting blown up
yes its reality
but i guess I dont want to
keep it real

So what I figure is this
live life now
live it to its best
live up
all the way
up up up
cause you never know
what tomorrow brings
and what wont be there
I look forward
to a long
healthy
joyful
life
in a safe and happy world
but until then
I have to do me
and do what makes me happy
focusing as much on today
but remembering in the words of
gloria estefan
that there might still be
always tomorrow

Be safe
be happy
look out
dont let crazy people get too close
if you see someone suspect
cross the street
