More couplets in the guise of rap lyrics given away for nothing on Twitter. Some suck. Some are okay.
Stealing the mail and the Sunday paper
Earning the ire of your fascist neighbor
Staring at the door to the room you sublet
Cleaning scrambled eggs off your diamond bracelet
passable, poseable
instantly disposable
Catalog your fears, catalog your dreams
Catalog what the mailman brings
Some have friendships, some drown in beers
Some have brilliant, heartless careers
Humdrum and parochial
Guileless and colloquial
Today is important, it’s something big
It deserves this very fancy wig
Anger, laughter, oversharing
Are no substitutes for caring
Sniffing glue, eating paste
Sometimes there’s no accounting for taste
You, with the insect eyes and the spider fingers texting
With the face that’s swollen from multiple bee stings
Awash in debt, drowning in pools

Ready for what fortune brings
From the many doings of things
Yarn, wiring, hammers, and bones
Milk crates full of rotary phones
Who would want to unfollow me
For sharing little bits of poetry?
IP lawyers scrap and fight
Praying at the altar of copyright
Hands and elbows, knees and feets
Ingesting all the crunchy beats
Angry, scornful, looking askance
At the backup singers with the magic pants
The tourists flock to familiar perches
Photographing all the ruins and churches
Dead-eyed gamblers, low high rollers
The angry screams of fucked-up bowlers
Google Analytics, hot apple pie
Larks’ Tongues In Aspic and curly fries
Sprained tendons, Shattered bone
My favorite flavor of ice cream cone
Like a comfortable chair where nobody sat
A trick pulled from a bad writer’s hat
