sum like that
i got a friend with a house in seneca
it’s got a beautiful sun room,
really a porch with windows that looks out on the real porch
and the property got a big ol yard she told me they dont never use
and one day when she was a child, sittin in the sun room
as the afternoon rays gave the trees those angles
she seen a demon run cross the yard
or sum like that
i seen plenty demons too
in the woods
in my head
at the funnel cake stand
white millennial lady with glasses and a affect said to us
“would yall wanna come back to my place? how old are yall?”
“we 16”
a brief pause
maybe the earth stop spinnin
or i had a stroke
or sum like that
“would yall wanna come back to my place?”
“how old are yall?”
they run a prostitution ring out back by where i work
out the restroom of the parkin deck
one time my coworker and my boss was out there,
after work, havin em a joint or sum
and one of the hoes, a cracked out lil white bitch, poor thing, gon come up pon my coworker pacing back and forth:
(now my coworker a 62 year old transwoman
with bout the worst pothead brain you can imagine
but sweet as can be)
“you look like sum”
and then she gon turn to my boss and say:
(now my boss is a college student, built, but with a face youd wanna kiss)
“you look like sum too”
and her cracked ass keep walkin back and forth, starin, till she go get the pimp
and the pimp come walkin out showin his knife
and they thought it was gonna be a fight so my coworker she grab the chain out her bike
but the pimp slap the hoe and say:
“stop botherin people”
and he come up on my boss and they exchange a few words
and he end up sayin:
“yall workin people, i respect that”
or sum like that
and my boss done shook his hand
and when they had me locked up
it was this girl in there with me
sweet thing, they called her little bit
and she was cute too
she wanted me but, you know, i dont- i dont know
but she had this girlfriend that was crazier than errybody in there
and little bit lived with her cuz her momma was crazy or
sum like that
but the girlfriend wouldnt give her none of her stuff back after they broke up
and she held her cats hostage
the girlfriend even hit her once- on her birthday
lesbians can be mean too is what i learned, i guess
that girlfriend, she had sum like that
i reckon my father had sum like that too
and now i hear that they be say that im in the bushes
or on a stakeout
schemin n plottin my every move
just so that it might seem as if 2 ships were passin
when in reality i had actually designed it to simply appear that way
or sum like that
they lookin for to lock me up
for an idea
a fear that dont exist
because really they overestimate me
i dont have neither the wherewithal nor the skills
besides, i dont even know where i am right now
but, you know, if you did happen to see john 3:16 scrawled on the wall in o negative
it mightve been me
