Hashtag Ferguson

So the decision was tonight

Made it a primetime delight 

Interupted the Bills game, which

Was delayed and relocated due to snow 

That May or perhaps 

Was not caused by global warming. 

Darren Wilson not charged

A just kill

Product of protocol. 

What I hear out the mouths of white people

They

       Gunna

                 Riot

                       Either

                               Way 

What I hear out the mouz of black folks

We 

     Finnah'be

                   Black

                           Either

                                    Way

Just another decision, another tough call

Another life not valued

But yet makes us [society] struggle

About how we value

A symptom of a cause

Like trying to heal a gunshot wound with gauze. 

A phish line for me

A punch line for the middle class

An anxiety for the wealthy. 

How uppity will this make 

US

Even if 

I'm one of them (punctuated by a silent screaming)

                     

Danny's Wegmans & The American Dream

I smoke my weed, eat my cheese cut my coke and watch my screens grow fatter by the day and higher into the night and puzzle over whether this be the dream? 

I slip into Ebonics more and more these days, so this is giving up, turning in, Friday night dinner at the grocers, movie out a vending machine; just cuz I don t feel like streaming tonight. Succumbing to the age, absent of grace, devoid of any discernible talents, hanging on a wage, maybe still scribble out a page, cipher out a tweet, chirping: I'm still young, only half believing  that perhaps this be fun.
