BOOGIE
write rhymes
when the vibes high
like yo high five
I go sky dive
Into the paper until I die
like sayonara, cyanide
the flow is high tide
out of the world bye bye
into this mind eye
colored like festivals and tie dye
inside my vestibule
looking for the best view
supplied by
the right rhyme
plus YOU
expressible
lettuce turnip the beet
to higher decibels
move your feet
now it’s a vegetable boogie
nah mean teehee
what a dance
kissing the cosmos
up in a trance
funky humans
just a bunch of growing plants
I dig them
Like we got some plans
but for now
that’s a joint; that’s a jam —
BOOGIE
Ain’t no rookie
but been playing hookie
from this sound garden
where seeds of philosophy
take bloom into a rhyme harvest
under the full moon
meta-morph consumed
by the metaphors
the way the letters pour
it’s like a monsoon
can’t ever set a course!
but I promise
I’ll be home soon
right after I channel the force
after a dope tune
of course 108 more
plays restored reboot
with more strength than Goku
absorb sound
as my go-to
no two
on this playground
that we grow through
like toes do
a toast too
profound that I know you
indebted to Creator
whom I owe too!
here take my labour
give it to the neighbors
let it flow through
even to the strangers
like it’s supposed to
so my nose to
the grindstone
until the ghost tomb
until they look back like
he was the GOAT too!
or rather a dope fool
give it all back like
what’s there to hold onto?
either way I hope
the notes bloom
we’re sewn too
all our actions
the way our clothes do
what a fabric
I like your threads too
running through my pattern
in a manner that’s beautifying the view
a lantern to all of the gloom
that’s YOU
designing the future
through these habits
and everything that we choose
enrich the graphics
like this sun and moon
dancing waters
singing loon
in some midnight magic
all moving in tune
just imagine
heads up for the noogie
awaken passion & possibility
reaching for the best BOOGIE
