Lack of walls, huts, quonset or
adobe, mud packed and hardened these
roundhouses give me kicks and I
remain focused and prevent squares
from defining me.
These curves owe no debt to western architecture
they bend as I need them and make me smile.
What appears to be a lack of order, randomly assembled
is all in order and arranged for the
enjoyment of the deranged, self-abuser.
It's still cold, even as I'm surrounded by 90
degrees at the four corners of my daily existence
and drink hot coffee tasting like swill and putting me
in the mindset that I am gargling bongwater
and keeping the curves at bay.
Peace,
KZ
I know exactly what your talking about...you and me are HERE!!
ReplyDeleteRemember what I said? Don't forget that... This speaks volumes about who you are and what your about...

KZ
Zed, you are sooooo wrong cuz you know inquiring minds want to know. . . . well at least you made it though the weekend alive.
ReplyDelete@OSB
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know.
KZ
@Cocoa girl...*two thumbs up* on that analysis.
ReplyDeleteMr. Zeddie, stop playing with me! HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?????
@CG
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm still alive.
@RD
If you really wanna know, there are ways to make me talk. *wink*
KZ
ummm...yeah. So what happenned this weekend?
ReplyDeleteDon't tell 'em, Zed. (LOL) Listen at me; kicking up trouble! (LOL). I like that poem. Bongwater? Is that what I think it is? Can I have some bongwater, too?
ReplyDeleteTHAT is the African I read everyday! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
ReplyDeleteThat is the man who sang happy birthday to his neice! God is working on you Zeddie.
I Have renewed faith!
@instanity - why not tell us? Zed is the one who told us old girl called/emailed, Zed is the one who told us she was coming for the weekend and her/his issues with that, so why not follow up and TELL us the end result to the build up - Zed I am going to check back again, you besta have another post detailing the weekend or I will boycott, ok who am I kidding enjoy reading blog to much for that but I will think of something.(threatening with a big grin).
ReplyDeleteZed, you on that poetic shit you hate so much today, huh?
ReplyDeleteIs this some lame attempt at not gettin to the matter at hand?
Don't do us like that....now on with the show...
Y'all not buyin' the poetry, hunh?
ReplyDeleteOK, here's the story:
Shelly had a gig (she's a comedian) at a luncheon on Saturday. She was coming to Satan's Anus after the gig. I was out most of the day shopping for a new suit and generally fuckin' around.
Shelly hadn't called and it was around 5:30 pm, so I figured she wasn't coming. I called my homegirl to ask if I should call her just to make sure. My homegirl wasn't home. So I called Shelly and left a voicemail asking if she was still coming. Right when I was finished, my homegirl called and said "Don't call her ass. Fuck her. You're off the hook."
So I made another date. Shelly called back and left a message that she was on her way. She said she'd call back for further directions when she got into Satan's Anus. That was the last I heard from her. I didn't call her again and she didn't call me.
Long story short, she was a no-show.
KZ
I hate Phone Tag. Don't play it with homegirl, Zed. It sounds to me like she was trying to play some game or other... you might be off the hook now. At least you know you tried since you didn't want to be bothered with her anyway.
ReplyDeleteBut be careful; you might end up the punchline of one of her corny jokes. Or, does she even have any jokey-jokes?
Awww naw, she faked...
ReplyDeleteOh well, now that can be yo reason for not fuckin wit her no more...
I'm sorry your friend didn't show, because if I didn't know better I'd think you were midly excited about her cumming, I mean her arrival!
ReplyDeleteOooh- did somebody say BONG?!
ReplyDeleteoh. wait. i'm trippin'...
Anyway- I'll be in the D soon.
I might also be in the NY on the 19th.
Will you be going to a birthday party there by chance?
"Yo Zed, you betta had" cuz I wouldahad to. . . (hope you didn't write that to shut us up) says the wannabe gangsta in me. The nice side of me says thanks for the final chapter, I can close the book now.
ReplyDeleteDisappointed?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm surprised you cracked under the blog-pressure and told the story.
@Insanity
ReplyDeleteI might be the punchline of one of her jokes. The one about the cat in Satan's Anus that used to blow her back out!
@Nsane
That's the silver lining. That's my shit.
@Miss Ahmad
Her arrival was causing all types of anxiety. I could have concentrated on hooking up with this other chick (that I'd honestly forgotten about).
@SanginDiva
When you gon' be in the D? I need details.
I was going to be in NYC on the 19th but Slish moved his BBQ up to the 5th, so I'll be there then. I was gonna try for the two-fer, but now I can't.
@OSB
I shoulda left y'all hangin'. The only reason I posted anything is because NOTHING HAPPENED.
@Chele
It really wasn't blog pressure. I wanted to see how mad y'all would get before I told the story.
Disappointed? I'm disappointed I didn't make concrete other plans instead of putting my weekend on hold to celebrate that chick's birthday.
KZ
Zed...glad that the weekend ended up a non issue. Perhaps, she finally got the gist of what you were trying to tell her. I like the poetic side peeking through.
ReplyDelete@1969
ReplyDeleteThe best non-issue weekend I've ever had!
I'm a notorious poetry-phobe, as Nsane knows. The poem was to distract people from my weekend. I'm glad it came out ok.
KZ
PS~stay away from Bong Water it can give you bronchitus!
ReplyDeleteOh well, all's well that ends well. It's probably best that she didn't come anyways. She sounds bit 'touched' lol.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...lol..My head hurts now..lol so your saying don't drink the coffee..lol
ReplyDeleteFirst the fat boys break up now this....the player got played.
ReplyDelete@Miss Ahmad
ReplyDeleteBongwater will fuck you up!
@LS
I don't know how touched she is, but I'm glad I didn't have to entertain her on her birthday.
@Slish
I'm saying don't gargle the bongwater!
@GBM
She got me good! All the preparations I made for her and as much as I anticipated her visit!!!
No...wait a minute...none of that happened. Nevermind.
KZ
you know...she might just have something...like a clue...that's why she didn't show....LOL I bet you had plenty of bananas in case she did some 'tricks' now you gotta eat em all yo' self *singing*

@Newy
ReplyDeleteY'all damn spoken word artists!!!
I'm glad she wised up. I just thought it would happen sooner.
KZ
i guess she wanted a piece of what we all want, just to know that somewhere she was wanted...even if she wasn't gonna show up...
ReplyDeletemust have been a bittersweet birfday for her either way!
@Miss Ahmad
ReplyDeleteI hope she had a good one, regardless.
KZ
yea i hope she had a good too, as a matter i'm gonna pour myself a vodka gimlet right now and toast to shelly...
ReplyDeletecan you toast to someone if you're drinking alone?
humm!
A "no show"?! What's that about?! So how'd the other date go? Nevermind... I don't really need to know in my current no prospect state.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I'm back for good. For the realies!
P.S. I liked the poetry. I'd forgotten all about "Shelly".
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone hipped her to your blog or she came to her senses. After all, this is a very small world. It is an even smaller Black world.
ReplyDelete@Toneec42
ReplyDeleteI made another date, I didn't keep it though.
Thanks for the poem kudos
@Anon
Good lookin' out! Very insightful!
KZ
@Mack
ReplyDeleteI'm not a poet!!!!
I wrote a poem to disorient people so they would forget about the weekend. And Shelly.
I think you coined something with the "e-pound".
KZ
Huh!!?!?!
ReplyDelete@Chez
ReplyDeleteWhere have you been? You missed everything!
