Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Witness this birth/berth taking steps in the fray Then gripping constant and ego at play Cursive through logic it all melts away Put it all ‘gainst everything today Let me swim cursive to the hilt of bliss Taking the steps to raise a breath been punching a clock before I earned a fist I tasted the knowledge ‘fore a solemn word had burned my lips And served the hurt without a tourniquet I learned what ex-ists, what’s perm-a-nent What drifts, shifts, taking a turn, what turns to dust, determinant touch is a gift I stumble away, confronting from Frey to firmament, adjusting through play, through surfaces earned impertinence Spurned, discern the difference between bergamot and certain mints not sophisticated yet with occurring kiss, no need for shrift or listless We haven’t arrived, have yet to look inside, what will I derive from life, what this gift is Surprise, the distance I’ll drive My kick mitts, my eyes will grip shit that my Ancestors had never imagined And leave a mark if even a fraction of a spark upon this pageant Put it all

everything today Without a launch I want a space Without a cost I want a place Without a loss learn from the race Don’t wanna break don’t wanna break Fuck it I’ll break, give me the scrapes Let me be torn asunder into a waste Watch me mold a wonder on that plate At any rate I want a taste Sour umami whatever the case Savor the solace while solemn in shape Forming a scape, forage with grace Scoring my torment and pour into place Upon a break upon a break Up on the highest levels I could face Weak in the stomach and knees gonna shake Taking that leap seeking escape Seeking the wind just to scream in my face Fleeting feeling feeding freedom or fate Alliterate before the prang Before the bang before I’m late Maybe I’ll turn that touch into a wake Disperse on such in the form of a wave Taking current never taking the cake Ever since I learned that’s a saying of racial False implication, keeping the pace Keeping my rate, keeping the faith Keeping the focus while chiefing amaze- Ment, keeping a hold of my feelings and pa- Tience, still I’m in haste, still I’m awake Still in my soul while I’m leaving the cave Hoping they heard or they’re grateful I came Im wanting the change hope

oxygen Gotta be comfortable in skin as if I sip the collagen No amount of claps or even bottles tipped Can solve that sour shit inside or fill that funky hollowness The ducks will probably return or so the college kids Logic spits, calm it down Im telling me until I got a grip Keep chomping to regurgitate through chopping lisp Let out the somber thoughts upon the jotter shits innocuous It won’t hurt em less it has to screams the cognizance No need for seeming spotless rocking honest as my confidence Sacrifice my being, least a lot of it It serves me but not about me, it makes a lot of sense

take? What if I stopped for a second just to catch my breath? What if I only worked all day to feed my soul Instead of just earning a wage here and getting stressed? What if I went left? What if my car hadn’t broke down? What if I actually ate right today? What if I got a degree in something they see as meaningful instead of theater? What if I shut up? What if I went away? Hop in the car as a shot in the dark embracing the aimless Pressing the hypothetical to face what might be dangerous Testing the limits I’ve let me diminish now breaking cages Wanting to feel alive, fuck if it’s not painless Passing a sea of strangers waving with their fleeting faces Might as well be stalks swaying in breezes praying The pressing forward helps me reach myself, that best summation, Reach my destination, to rest with my left vexation Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Put it all ‘gainst everything today Witness this birth/berth taking steps in the fray Then gripping constant and ego at play Cursive through logic it all melts away Put it all ‘gainst everything today
