    What are you doing?

    Nothing you wouldn't.

    Hm.

    [a pause.]

    —It smells of blood.

    Hm. Keen sense of smell—and familiarity with uncommon scents.

    A bird flew into my window this morning.

    BIRD

    hey!

    *smashes against window*

    …it wasn't open.

    Damn! How does that happen?!

    GOD

    Did you see that, though?

    Yeah, God—okay, you win.

    I'm up, I'm up.

    GOD

    You okay, Jack?

    I'm fine, I'm okay.

    Try being a better bird.

    I'm—the best bird I can be.

    I meant— a bigger bird. Much smarter.

    It's not my fault; I thought that the fourth wall was already broken.

    It was; your mistake however lies in the simple fact that that wasn't the fourth wall, it was a window.

    My mistake.

    Try a Seagul.

    Wouldn't it be amazing if peacocks could fly.

    CUT TO:

    [PEACOCKS can fly.]

    OH DEAR GOD.

    CUT BACK TO:

    No, it would not.

    Kesha — tik tok

    Ohhhhh, that was Kesha.

    Yes.

    I get it now.

    No, no you really don't.

    Should I be afraid of whatever's about to happen?

    I think you should be more concerned about the things that shouldn't, and are.

    Oh…Kay…

    Every kiss begins with

    —kill the bitch.

    Holy shit! Another one!

    Don't worry about it.

    The DJs

    (It would be the DJs doing this)

    It would have to be!

    Have developed a bird-cannon.

    (Actually, it's just a t-shirt cannon from the music festival.)

    Which music festival?

    Idk, you pick

    MAGIC MIKES MUSIC MAYHEM

    {Sponsored by Mike's Hard Lemonade}

    Sure.

    I like that one.

    It—yeah.

    Whatever. Isn't it just technically—

    INT. THE INFINITE RAVE.

    —wait, are you naked right now?

    …

    I'm always naked.

    GROSS.

    Barf.

    If you want.

    I'm not changing.

    The three DJ's with the bird cannon have successfully tricked—

    Who is it

    Idk

    —The DJ inside into rescuing the three birds catapulted at the window; this results in the DJs then shapeshifting into the three birds in order to infiltrate the DJ's kitchen, which has been reportedly used as a multidimensional portal.

    We soon discover (or have already discovered, keeping on the series progression or multidimensional arc,) that the entire building itself can be transported throughout time and space, which the DJ, [who has been revealed as an immortal mystic space God] often moves through realms and throughout time and space in order to bend and manipulate reality—destined to find a hospitable destination, where likely the planet's inhabitants have reversed earth's untimely demise and preserved humanity, and ideally, where the world is living in peace and harmony with itself and one another.

    Lol the building moves.

    It doesn't exist!

    It kind of exists! It has to!

    Yeah— kind of.

    Psh!

    I'm so hot

    That I put

    Pancakes on my Mancakes.

    Psssst.

    (Sizzle)

    I put pancakes on my mancakes

    (Flip em)

    I put pancakes on my pancakes.

    (Sweet and hot like a McGriddle)

    I put pancakes on my mancakes.

    For rizzle.

    SUNNI BLŪ has become so visibly veluptuous that people are beginning to talk about it— a lot.

    I told you, stop squatting!

    I can't! All the tour bus gots is barbells!

    Can't you just go running like a NORMAL person?

    Go run where?! My face is on everything!

    CUT TO. FLASHBACK- before:

    FANS

    Omg is that him.

    *girls screaming*

    *cattle stampeding*

    *pandemonium*

    CUT BACK TO:

    —and that was at my house!

    Sunni—

    —in Iowa!

    s—you bought I house in Iowa?

    Hence the cattle. Duh.

    God.

    I thought it would be quiet there!

    SUNNI BLU counters this speculation with a new single which references having glutes so intensely hot that one is able to cook pancakes atop them, in which the music video showcases Sunni's bottom being used as a pancake griddle and features rap legend SNOOP DOGG—

    MANCAKES ft. SNOOP DOGG

    Models and dancers surround SUNNI rapping and take turns making pancakes on the veluptuous butt—ie—“mancakes.” Dressed in scantily clad chefs outfits/ sexy aprons and barbecue outfits// a barbecue pool party scene in which the booty is used as a pancake grill while the models and dancers drink mimosas at a backyard brunch.

    The song wins numerous accolades including song of the year, and skyrockets sunni BLU even further into fame—luckily, this distracts the public from further speculation, however— a small group of other celebrities become suspicious after unanimously deciding that the “jiggle factor” of the butt is explicitly female, and launch a secret csmpaign to expose Sunnï Blū as a transgender—thinking that this will upset the rap and hip hop community, and resulting in Sunnï Blu's removal from the top of the pyramid crowned as the entertainment kingpin.

    {Black- ish}

    2014. Sitcom. 8 seasons

    Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has it all - a great job, beautiful wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), four kids and a big home in a classy neighbourhood - but as a black man, he begins to question whether all his success has brought too much cultural assimilation for his family. With the help of his father (Laurence Fishburne), Dre begins to try to create a sense of ethnic identity for the members of his family that will allow them to honour their background while preparing them to embrace the future.

    Mix story:

    Two traditionally stereotypical black(ish) dudes decide on a whim to buy some electronic musical festival tickets, which come with a mystery suprise dosage of an unknown psychoactive hallucinogen which takes them on a in unguided journey through time and space through strange and unfamiliar, bizzare and unknown music—unguided, that is, besides for by the light provided by the hands of the DJ, who acts as a spiritual guide, immersing the partygoers into a new world of bass heavy drops, Kandi coated ravers, and freedoms yet unbeknownst.

    The Festival Project, Inc.™ is a multidimensional multimedia platform which encompasses exploratory and artistic social personifications and expressions on cosmic theory, spirituality, growth, health & wellness, philosophy and theoretic dynamics in entertainment such as music, design, film, television, radio, dance and festival culture, art, fashion, literature, and science.

    The Festival Project™ and it's subsidiary Non-Profit, The Collective Complex © aims to challenge modern artistic and philosophical ideals, break commonplace barriers, forage new creative mediums, and provoke inspired and reformed thought and actions toward evolution and overall societal improvement and ecological sustenance through a new-wave and post-modern, avant-garde and philanthropic hyperawareness driven by a unique culture of global values mediating global respect and preservation via open consciousness, multi-sensory and synesthetic (multi-preceptory) expansions of sound, language, vibration, movement, color, emotion, and ritual governed conceptually by the aspect(s) of love, truth, unity, understanding, and peace.

    ‘Mm. More protein.'

    I knew protein wasn't exactly entirely going to help me lose weight, but I had lost a lot of muscle only cycling and being bombarded at the gym— and the inferior protein I had purchased earlier in the month was less than inferior, as it turned out— it simply wasn't working.

    How the fuck is this a real rock group?!

    I don't know! I thought I made it up.

    I thought you made everything up.

    I MADE EVERYTHING UPz.

    Well, this is turning out to be a disaster.

    Hm. No spouse listed.

    You fucked a drummer?

    You could say I hopped on the bandwagon.

    I'm going to need you to feed my dragon.

    Uhm. Okay.

    Don't worry. She doesn't bite.

    Uh.

    Give her a kiss.

    …no.

    Do it, or she'll set you on fire.

    *kisses dragon*

    ..Okay.

    Good girl.

    She's soft. For a dragon.

    Yes, she's very friendly.

    So. What does she eat?

    People.

    +.+ –Agh?!

    —but only purple ones.

    What?

    She's not going to eat you, Fredrick.

    Who the fuck is “Fredrick”?!

    (We don't know.)

    My name's not—

    —you're not purple.

    I'm not.

    No. Don't worry.

    I'm—worried.

    I said don't.

    Well; wait— what color am I, then?

    That's not important.

    What in the actual circumstance is this.

    Length?

    8.5 inches.

    So I did the math the other day—

    And I finally figured it out,

    That the reason the world is such a fucked up place

    Is that 80 percent of dudes have short dicks.

    That's why the “ideal” woman has always been small waisted, short, petite, tiny.

    — 80% of men have penis lengths smaller than 5 inches.

    That's statistics.

    I'm just saying—

    There's a reason why super models are super skinny.

    That's so dudes can hit it and really feel like they're fucking shit up.

    With their little short dicks.

    These tiny short girls make their little dicks feel LARGE, okay?

    Doesn't even matter. I just figured out the whole world is fake.

    I want to go somewhere the fuck else.

    I want to go somewhere selfies don't exist.

    “MOO-HAHA”

    NOBODY LAUGHS LIKE THAT.

    That's my evil laugh!

    No, it's not.

    Well, how am i supposed to laugh, then?

    “Mwa-ha-ha”?

    There you go. That's perfect.

    Could you uncover the mask of the rabbit?

    Table readings—

    Don't be greedy!

    Your agents and managers

    Also are facing inflations

    On yachts and at parties

    And meanwhile,

    The projects of poverty are awestruck

    With guttural proportions

    Of treasures uncovered from rubble

    Of sidewalks

    And storm gutters

    Well, aren't I then?

    Relax rabbit,

    I have a new task for you—

    Go bring me back what you haven't yet,

    And try staying on task without habits at all

    Or adderall—

    (Won't be that hard on an all organic diet,

    Proper programming and parental encouragement,

    Plus support, recommended.)

    Here you are again, to bother anyone around you.

    There I go again, not caring a fuck less.

    Here we are both a genius and robot

    Deciding to go walk the dog,

    At the wrong time

    Just a reminder

    I'm less of myself,

    In a room full of anyone else,

    Nevermind

    A few thousand

    —the likely cause of my invisibility.

    Battlegrounds as the brainless have managed to outnumber us.

    Beyonce became the first black woman to headline Coachella in 2018.

    Halle Berry, just shortly before that in 2001 became the first black woman to win an academy award for best actress.

    I'm just realizing what era of time I've been born into—and I have to continue to keep wondering to myself—‘why do they hate us?'

    For the first time in my life, advertisements for a Disney movie which will showcase an African American girl as its lead character—not as a frog, or a lion, or a mermaid—but as a human being—and one of the first animations in my lifetime to feature a female character with brown eyes—and not the usual blue, green, purple, or pink the media often uses to dehumanize or water down the blackness of dark skinned characters— saddens me, as although she is wearing braids, she is still made to look light skinned, with freckles—as beautiful some girls are, but still, this alerted me to the fact that white audiences still hate seeing black women in the spotlight, and solidified the truth that white audiences will not adapt to watching dark skinned women as the leading role in almost anything.

    Is the intrinsic hatred and jealousy of the white supremacy the underlying cause in the continual disadvantage of darker skinned women and the portrayals as such as strong leading characters—why does the success and happiness of the black woman seem to be such an imposing threat to whites so much so that the entire media has been, even of late, a parade of forced diversification, further colorism, and the solidification of light skinned people being seen as more beautiful, acceptable, and prioritized, in the media and otherwise?

    Has the obsession of white hatred towards black woman been the underlying cause in the justification of white supremacy in the media in order to create more steady sources of revenues for entertainment provisioners, programmers, and networks—appealing to largely white audiences with whitewashed and Eurocentric classification of diversity amongst the new generation's subset standards?

    The dark skinned woman continues to be undermined and unappreciated — it seems out of deep seated fear— fear of dark skin, fear of dark eyes—fear of having to share a world which used to revolve around eurocentricity—with diversified beauty—fear of actual equality.

    Why Do They Hate Us?

    (Nope, not at all)

    I get wronged for it when I black out—

    Funny thing about it is,

    That ain't never happened

    Colonizer poison all of the water

    Code of conduct

    I promise the karma

    For carnival circus

    I promise when I die

    The rest of it goes out with me

    (But not coming home with us)

    The darker the berry,

    Ain't it funny when

    The whole world is

    Amen,

    I'm three times dead,

    And ain't left my apartment

    Bitch, buy me a bottle.

    Yo.

    I don't hate white peoples.

    At all, bro.

    But—

    They're just scary.

    Sometimes.

    Like ey—

    Stop trying to kill us.

    They're like,

    “We're not!

    …Just…

    …the ugly ones…”

    But then that's like…

    They're the ones that set the standards in the first place on who's “ugly.”

    “Ok! Ok! Everyone's beautiful!”

    [That's good.]

    “…Just the stupid ones!”

    lol.

    But they run all the fuckin systems,

    So the education system is like,

    Unequal and shit.

    They're like,

    “It's okay! Everything's better now.”

    But all the dark skinned people in movies are either like,

    Men, or like,

    Off to the side and shit.

    Morbidly obese and shit—

    Like,

    “Here's your representation.”

    What in the fuck though—

    I swear to God I don't hate white people.

    I don't.

    But it's like…

    Every time we get too far ahead—

    Or no,

    Try to catch up to them,

    They're like,

    “GET THE FUCK BACK!!”

    AHEM.

    I mean—

    Ahem.

    “Ahem.”

    They got gatekeepers.

    Like the only way they can handle dark skinned people,

    Especially women,

    Exceeding is if it's by being ghetto,

    Or standing on some soapbox,

    Or going above and beyond in some way.

    We only get centered representation of color,

    If it's in some ways, in total,

    flawed.

    Watching the Olympics,

    I almost thought they had Simone Biles hair messed up on purpose.

    Like,

    “Here's your representation.”

    That is our representation.

    How Americans actually feel about black women in general.

    Like, we couldn't have our best and be our best.

    Nobody's gonna pull this girl to the side and comb down those flyaways?

    An Olympic champion!

    A fucking Gold medalist—

    a perfect representation of the fact that America can't let black American women be “all the way the best”.

    Something looks wrong!

    I don't hate white people.

    But now I'm like…

    …

    …

    …Why do they hate us?

    Ahem.

    After an intense round of furious masturbation, I had the sudden onset feeling that I may have written something interesting over the last 3 months.

    Killing Me Softly is an organization established to help de-victimize and support survivors of un/reported violent crimes; an answer and antithesis to the #metoo movement, Killing Me Softly promotes the ideology of the safety in anonymity, as survivors of violent crimes often forego seeking traditional treatment or filing reports against such violence in fear or persecution or retaliation. Historically, reporters of violent crimes (particularly against women) are met with accusations of falsifying or fabrication, social exclusion, defamation of character, and even revenge and punishment enacted by the perpetrator of such crimes in defense– which in today's current justice system has proven to derail survivors livelihoods, wellbeing, and put their safety at risk.

      Sometimes no matter what you do

      Black is ugly

      It don't matter—

      That's just the way things are

      Dark skin, negro hair, brown eyes

      You must grow to understand that to the oppotite race,

      Those things are lesser than

      We love blonde

      With blue eyes preferably

      And only a hint of olive in the lightest skin tone

      We like a carefree, fun loving girl

      Who doesn't worry about trauma

      She doesn't worry about oppression

      Or the right hair

      Because the “right” hair grows out of her head

      There's just something too harsh for us

      About dark skin

      And dark eyes

      There's something so intense about

      Frizzy hair

      And black features

      That we cost ourselves hundreds in

      “Beautification” to look like them

      So they respect us more

      While inwardly, they become relieved

      That they don't have to spend money on

      Weaves and wigs

      and when they wear braids

      It's a costume

      Or a statement piece

      Not a way of life

      ‘Mm. More protein.'

      I knew protein wasn't exactly entirely going to help me lose weight, but I had lost a lot of muscle only cycling and being bombarded at the gym— and the inferior protein I had purchased earlier in the month was less than inferior, as it turned out— it simply wasn't working.

      How the fuck is this a real rock group?!

      I don't know! I thought I made it up.

      I thought you made everything up.

      I MADE EVERYTHING UPz.

      Well, this is turning out to be a disaster.

      Hm. No spouse listed.

      You fucked a drummer?

      You could say I hopped on the bandwagon.

      Ew.

      I'm going to need you to feed my dragon.

      Uhm. Okay.

      Don't worry. She doesn't bite.

      Uh.

      Give her a kiss.

      …no.

      Do it, or she'll set you on fire.

      *kisses dragon*

      ..Okay.

      Good girl.

      She's soft. For a dragon.

      Yes, she's very friendly.

      So. What does she eat?

      People.

      +.+ –Agh?!

      —but only purple ones.

      What?

      She's not going to eat you, Fredrick.

      Who the fuck is “Fredrick”?!

      (We don't know.)

      My name's not—

      —you're not purple.

      I'm not.

      No. Don't worry.

      I'm—worried.

      I said don't.

      Well; wait— what color am I, then?

      That's not important.

      *shiny*

      Oh, good. A gatekeeper.

      So I did the math the other day—

      And I finally figured it out,

      That the reason the world is such a fucked up place

      Is that 80 percent of dudes have short dicks.

      That's why the “ideal” woman has always been small waisted, short, petite, tiny.

      — 80% of men have penis lengths smaller than 5 inches.

      That's statistics.

      I'm just saying—

      There's a reason why super models are super skinny.

      That's so dudes can hit it and really feel like they're fucking shit up.

      With their little short dicks.

      These tiny short girls make their little dicks feel LARGE, okay?

      Doesn't even matter. I just figured out the whole world is fake.

      I want to go somewhere the fuck else.

      I want to go somewhere selfies don't exist.

      MOO-HAHA

      What do you mean, it's not?

      “MOO-HAHA”

      NOBODY LAUGHS LIKE THAT.

      That's my evil laugh!

      No, it's not.

      Well, how am i supposed to laugh, then?

      Justnfucking—

      “Mwa-ha-ha”?

      There you go. That's perfect.

      What!? That's simple. That's just like everybody else.

      Be simple then.

      What!

      You're also just like everybody else!

      I am not!

      What makes you different?

      I'm—going to take over the world.

      See.

      See—what?!

      You're just like everybody—all the other villains.

      I am not!

      You are, though, for real. Like—

      I earned two tattoos and a crown

      From loving a man

      Who can't love me back

      I won the pawn, the aces, the sword

      Chariot, gardens and graces

      A house full of waivers

      Could you uncover the arc of the architect?

      Probably not,

      As it changes upon discovery

      Could you uncover the mask of the rabbit?

      The tantra of habit?

      The cruel suffering of the crucifix?

      Son of Sam

      And Harlem's daughter

      The forever golden one

      —a forager.

      Arches—

      Hark, you call, cruel summer

      Never forward

      Wondering blossom,

      Talking of longshores, sportsman's,

      Wailers, down coats

      Fools for orphans, are you all!

      Proof of the word for the propaganda,

      Mother Sandra

      Bullocks and Bulletwounds

      (But Bullock would have wanted one next,

      Just to summon a role for her.)

      Passion projects!

      Here they are, now!

      Bulletproof and,

      Table readings—

      Don't be greedy!

      Your agents and managers

      Also are facing inflations

      On yachts and at parties

      And meanwhile,

      The projects of poverty are awestruck

      With guttural proportions

      Of treasures uncovered from rubble

      Of sidewalks

      And storm gutters

      —how was your morning?

      Celebrity, aren't you?

      Well, aren't I then?

      Relax rabbit,

      I have a new task for you—

      Go bring me back what you haven't yet,

      And try staying on task without habits at all

      Or adderall—

      (Won't be that hard on an all organic diet,

      Proper programming and parental encouragement,

      Plus support, recommended.)

      Here you are again, to bother anyone around you.

      There I go again, not caring a fuck less.

      Here we are both a genius and robot

      Deciding to go walk the dog,

      At the wrong time

      Just a reminder

      I'm less of myself,

      In a room full of anyone else,

      Nevermind

      A few thousand

      —the likely cause of my invisibility.

      Battlegrounds as the brainless have managed to outnumber us.

      Beyonce became the first black woman to headline Coachella in 2018.

      Halle Berry, just shortly before that in 2001 became the first black woman to win an academy award for best actress.

      I'm just realizing what era of time I've been born into—and I have to continue to keep wondering to myself—‘why do they hate us?'

      For the first time in my life, advertisements for a Disney movie which will showcase an African American girl as its lead character—not as a frog, or a lion, or a mermaid—but as a human being—and one of the first animations in my lifetime to feature a female character with brown eyes—and not the usual blue, green, purple, or pink the media often uses to dehumanize or water down the blackness of dark skinned characters— saddens me, as although she is wearing braids, she is still made to look light skinned, with freckles—as beautiful some girls are, but still, this alerted me to the fact that white audiences still hate seeing black women in the spotlight, and solidified the truth that white audiences will not adapt to watching dark skinned women as the leading role in almost anything.

      Is the intrinsic hatred and jealousy of the white supremacy the underlying cause in the continual disadvantage of darker skinned women and the portrayals as such as strong leading characters—why does the success and happiness of the black woman seem to be such an imposing threat to whites so much so that the entire media has been, even of late, a parade of forced diversification, further colorism, and the solidification of light skinned people being seen as more beautiful, acceptable, and prioritized, in the media and otherwise?

      Has the obsession of white hatred towards black woman been the underlying cause in the justification of white supremacy in the media in order to create more steady sources of revenues for entertainment provisioners, programmers, and networks—appealing to largely white audiences with whitewashed and Eurocentric classification of diversity amongst the new generation's subset standards?

      The dark skinned woman continues to be undermined and unappreciated — it seems out of deep seated fear— fear of dark skin, fear of dark eyes—fear of having to share a world which used to revolve around eurocentricity—with diversified beauty—fear of actual equality.

      Why Do They Hate Us?

      And ain't left my apartment

      Bitch, buy me a bottle.

      Yo.

      I don't hate white peoples.

      At all, bro.

      But—

      They're just scary.

      Sometimes.

      Like ey—

      Stop trying to kill us.

      They're like,

      “We're not!

      …Just…

      …the ugly ones…”

      But then that's like…

      They're the ones that set the standards in the first place on who's “ugly.”

      “Ok! Ok! Everyone's beautiful!”

      [That's good.]

      “…Just the stupid ones!”

      lol.

      But they run all the fuckin systems,

      So the education system is like,

      Unequal and shit.

      They're like,

      “It's okay! Everything's better now.”

      But all the dark skinned people in movies are either like,

      Men, or like,

      Off to the side and shit.

      Morbidly obese and shit—

      Like,

      “Here's your representation.”

      What in the fuck though—

      I swear to God I don't hate white people.

      I don't.

      But it's like…

      Every time we get too far ahead—

      Or no,

      Try to catch up to them,

      They're like,

      “GET THE FUCK BACK!!”

      AHEM.

      I mean—

      Ahem.

      “Ahem.”

      They got gatekeepers.

      Like the only way they can handle dark skinned people,

      Especially women,

      Exceeding is if it's by being ghetto,

      Or standing on some soapbox,

      Or going above and beyond in some way.

      We only get centered representation of color,

      If it's in some ways, in total,

      flawed.

      Watching the Olympics,

      I almost thought they had Simone Biles hair messed up on purpose.

      Like,

      “Here's your representation.”

      That is our representation.

      How Americans actually feel about black women in general.

      Like, we couldn't have our best and be our best.

      Nobody's gonna pull this girl to the side and comb down those flyaways?

      An Olympic champion!

      A fucking Gold medalist—

      a perfect representation of the fact that America can't let black American women be “all the way the best”.

      Something looks wrong!

      I don't hate white people.

      But now I'm like…

      …

      …

      …Why do they hate us?

      Ahem.

      Killing Me Softly is an organization established to help de-victimize and support survivors of un/reported violent crimes; an answer and antithesis to the #metoo movement, Killing Me Softly promotes the ideology of the safety in anonymity, as survivors of violent crimes often forego seeking traditional treatment or filing reports against such violence in fear or persecution or retaliation. Historically, reporters of violent crimes (particularly against women) are met with accusations of falsifying or fabrication, social exclusion, defamation of character, and even revenge and punishment enacted by the perpetrator of such crimes in defense– which in today's current justice system has proven to derail survivors livelihoods, wellbeing, and put their safety at risk. Killing Me Softly seeks to maintain a safe and anonymous space for survivors of violent crimes, welcoming all genders, races, orientations and those who identify across all spectrums who identify as survivors of un/reported violent crimes seek by to remain anonymous or maintain a change of identity due to violent crime, allowing the de-victimization and empowerment of survivors of all acts of abuse, physical and/or psychological, neglect, psychological terrorism, gangstalking and other forms of ridicule, terror, torture, or abuse overlooked and systemized and/or classified by standard systematic institutions as disabilities or disorders, incapabilities which include misdiagnoses due to medical inequality, colorism, racism, biased, or sociopolitical inequality such as, but not limited to; mislabeling as paranoia, hallucinations, conspiracy, fabrications or other under-recognized or deprioritized documentation of incidents and intent to cause harm to others by a singular abuser and/or groups, hate groups and organizations designed or designated to attack and subdue diversified others, minorities, and ‘lesser-persons', those represented in the media or otherwise as second-class citezens, and treatment by organizations or authorities aimed towards dismantling the peace of mind or livelihoods of others for personal, political, or socioeconomical reasons.

        Sometimes no matter what you do

        Black is ugly

        It don't matter—

        That's just the way things are

        Dark skin, negro hair, brown eyes

        You must grow to understand that to the oppotite race,

        Those things are lesser than

        We love blonde

        With blue eyes preferably

        And only a hint of olive in the lightest skin tone

        We like a carefree, fun loving girl

        Who doesn't worry about trauma

        She doesn't worry about oppression

        Or the right hair

        Because the “right” hair grows out of her head

        There's just something too harsh for us

        About dark skin

        And dark eyes

        There's something so intense about

        Frizzy hair

        And black features

        That we cost ourselves hundreds in

        “Beautification” to look like them

        So they respect us more

        While inwardly, they become relieved

        That they don't have to spend money on

        Weaves and wigs

        and when they wear braids

        It's a costume

        Or a statement piece

        Not a way of life

        Because it has to be

      • hey fam.

        At an interesting and quick pace,

        The man asked to be seen by the doctor,

        A wish,

        No distasteful strand of eloquence left unopened—

        He asked for a mailbox, and she gave him a shovel

        (And a shower for a show!)

        O Conan!!!

        That just became so readily amusing to me,

        That I might have failed to have mentioned, dear reader

        An atrocity unwinding for us we have found—

        and we have found such indeed, in perpetual times,

        To be one another, and all at all times! A quest!

        Given a seat at the entry,

        To have been given any attention,

        And keep each of them with me

        A mention—

        For factor of disappearance— “¿whereforeartthou women? “

        We'll ask—

        (But no children please)

        I get it;

        I got tracked down for an autograph

        And asked for one, if any

        For a stone each

        Goes to the other.

        Listen,

        Movement again

        Catch me if you can, car//cat.

        What a head trip

        What a head trip

        What a disasterous ask,

        How I failed to have lost you at all,

        And found one at the crossroads,

        Dropped off at the crosswalk

        Don't forget waffles!

        Stramlining streamers

        And bicycle tires

        Times of the times

        Of the times

        (Of the times, I said)

        I love iron

        And ironing boards in the flatiron district

        Don't do anything I wouldn't

        (Fair, and very well said.)

        Fair and very well done, your honor

        Are we all on the same ark now,

        Noah?!

        No!

        It couldn't be I had ever lived so dangerously

        Look at me

        I went all that way

        And only lost $22 dollars!

        A dollar a minute!

        —times a wasting!

        I went all this way

        And still owe 30 minutes on the stationary bike

        {After 30 More Minutes on The Stationary Bike}

        In the crosshairs//crosfires of something once thought as love, we find reason to give in trust to such, as not has now parted from within these sequences

        —of time, through time—

        and by time, in and of itself, in nature

        —with and throughout cause of now and where we have come, into truth;

        Awakened by our judgement,

        And in spirit, here gathered as farkind.

        Sometimes, I honestly don't know what any of this stuff means— or what I'm writing until after I've done it.

        I've got to go;

        That's Christopher Lloyd.

        John Wilkins, Sr. Sir. Reporting for duty.

        Have you got your paperwork gathered?

        As you asked.

        As was commanded.

        Yes, sir.

        I see here you have— mounted—

        —and unmounted—

        —yes…this mission—several times within the last decade.

        I've seen to it to show all paths taken within the simulation—sir—both in and out of each district within the series grid.

        *face*

        —uh, sir.

        …I see. And your continuum?

        Spotless: In fact— with your judgment, you might confirm I've become somewhat of a—

        (Clearing throat)

        Ahem.

        —celebrity.

        *coughs*

        —sir.

        [a break]

        —it has been well documented.

        All Things Considered…

        …All Things Considered.

        (Breaks fourth wall, as if to say “i beat you to the punch.)

        (No pun intended.)

        That's not funny!

        No, it's not, but—

        All Things Considered…

        ….

        “All Things Considered”

        {Enter The Multiverse}

        Huh. A new show.

        Oh My God.

        What's wrong?

        A new parallel.

        —where?

        …close.

        And—how?!

        Since when did we ever know how things happen—

        [The Festival Project ™ ]

        —In this realm, or anywhere else?

        —-

        How's “anywhere else” sound?

        Marvelous— as long as it doesn't cost too much.

        It won't.

        Please tell me you're taking these things seriously.

        Serous as it gets.

        It's as serious as they come, I think.

        They're going to kill him.

        They're going to kill me!

        I'm…gonna kill him.

        Well— that's enough!

        Off to work!

        I've gotta go!

        AND LIVE FROM NEW YORK, ITS

        —I touched it.

        Shut the ——

        UP.

        Um. What.

        You can't say that.

        We're live .

        I just did [bleep] say that

        Why is it—

        —oh my god—

        —where's the censor?!

        Are we live!?

        We're live!

        Cut to commercial!

        We can't!

        Run the backup generators.

        Ahahahahah.

        We gotta get this thing off the ground.

        We'll see.

        Oh! She's—

        I'm sure you'll understand lately.

        Through the corridor.

        Where's the corridor.

        You'll see it.

        *walks into wall*

        Er—maybe not.

        Portal!

        Portal!

        Portal!

        Always.

        Follow.

        Your instinct.

        Maybe later?

        I—

        Wait! Where are you going?!

        Somewhere else! I don't know!

        There's something you should know.

        What should I know.

        He—shot himself this morning.

        Oh, that's terrible.

        I might have my wires crossed,

        Then again,

        Come again,

        Here again—

        Second time

        The controller of everything

        Controller of God

        —but if God has a controller

        I guess that's who I am

        (That's who I am)

        I'm not tryna look cute today;

        I just wanna go in on a loan

        How long has it been

        Seen I seen what you saw—

        But if I saw your face,

        It's a whole new world

        I got lost once;

        No more scholarships

        No more storms,

        No abortions.

        No missed calls,

        No more harsh words

        (Harsh words lost!)

        No more music,

        More songs

        Fire on,

        Bass guitar—

        I play everything on the wall

        I'm a whole animal

        I got tired of the wall,

        I got a will to work

        I just won't work

        For a star!

        Someone call my employer,

        I got ties, and bosses

        Leather cuffs and centrifugal force less

        I'm so worthless

        But you started it for her

        No, I don't want to smile;

        I should just start the fire under my soul

        To get lost with it.

        I'm still tied to the art,

        Still tied to it all

        I still can't decide

        For my heart

        Or my soul

        If I should just move on with it.

        I shouldn't move over so fast;

        This whole car has bucket seats.

        I should just leave it to God,

        And I don't want to worry too much

        About projects

        I already took losses on

        If it buffers again,

        I know I'm in charge

        Just thinking about where I've gone with it says

        I should let it go,

        All the way gone.

        I don't need a divorce

        I need to resurface

        Just let go

        And just get gone

        I've been missing a piece of my heart

        And I've had a lot of fun times

        On rooftops

        But I got two dogs barkin

        With no bones

        And no boners

        As thrones

        To sit upon

        What was that about the crown?

        If my plane goes down, all is lost.

        I thought about voice activated doors—

        Keeping the lights on at night

        And starting wars over

        Don't hold onto value

        What doesn't serve you only

        Sell the dream they sold you

        To show you

        The cold shoulders;

        I need no more open doors

        And no pawns

        If it's not worth all of it

        All of it.

        I don't want

        More open doors,

        And more artifacts to show

        I could only get cold hard numbers

        No nurses more;

        Wait till you get a divorce—

        That'll show you the cold hard world.

        I'm not worried about an offer.

        I'm not worried about a job,

        As long as I've got

        long John Silvers

        I'm not worried about the way it works so much

        Except

        Leaving a piece of myself

        In the past,

        With no way to get out.

        (There's no way to get out)

        Didn't I say before

        That I loved the whole world over you.

        You built the whole world over water

        The wall around Rome in a day.

        Remember the time you sold your piece

        And your peace

        Remember what you could give

        To forgive

        To forget

        To spend your entire life

        Spinning and spinning

        In the wild

        And

        End-the-end

        It's a win-win situation.

        It's a push to start world, you know

        This—we live in

        A paranormal paradox

        Of modern amenities

        And

        —-I just want to play with him.

        I promise, I'll give it right back when I'm finished

        I don't plan on keeping it

        Or living long

        Or doing well—

        Or coming home till morning.

        Everyone gets worried after supper

        When the car backs out of the driveway, God knows

        I could be gone for an hour at most,

        Or a month,

        Depending on

        Where I'm going

        Nobody knows

        When I close my doors to visitors

        Open to the public, on some days.

        On some,

        Corporate function.

        Dress code with all the right

        Suits and ties,

        Dollar signs and

        Brunches

        Now, far beyond private

        Firewall

        And a lockdown mode.

        I'm dizzy with the loss of time

        But you'd chain me to a bedpost,

        Managed by a stranger

        Then again, at night

        I've lost all hopes

        All night,

        Steady fishing in a man made pond

        For nine hosts.

        So if 9 out of 10 times

        The answer is yes,

        And one no—

        Might as well vote;

        Get on with it

        I should fill out an app for McDonald's yet

        I'm already full of c/gum

        And water.

        So why not?

        Laramie Hughes is a jack of all trades.

        A representative of God on all behalfs

        Tearing down the institutions of sanity

        Forbearance of betrayal

        Unkind, but bewildered

        They come in all incarnations

        Ignorant to one another

        Which one's which?

        However,

        The light that brings awareness to all things,

        The triad of knowledge,

        Wisdom and

        illumination

        Your pain is words in music

        Tears to translation,

        The chaos, destruction

        Of forming worlds once thought

        As foraged, once of thought

        But now become of us

        What we are

        The color of God

        (He looks to meet his untimely demise atop a skyscapter in midtown Manhattan)

        Oh God, here it goes

        Below, the summoned protector waits, awakened as archangel and antithesis to what is known, to catch him — thus prolonging his existence, and though not truly preventing his untimely death, giving birth to his enlightenment...

        Oh God, here it comes.

        He jumps, giving way to all element

        -a ragdoll,

        She stands basking in his glory,

        Nonchalont

        And catches him.

        A high tide breaks,

        Catching into a storm

        In the night,

        Off the coast,

        In Los Angeles

        Embargo!

        Embargo!

        A sanctioned cry,

        For here once more Friday comes,

        The martyr of aces—

        Keeper of stones,

        Craft of Wanda,

        They call God,

        But also non-form

        Circumstance of other

        Antithesis,

        Before antiquity.

        The light in your language

        Has crafted pure steadyform

        Emotion in my cadence,

        Thought to be worlds of wonder

        Dance, brave fortune has captured!

        Light, scared not of darkness

        But ending in all time

        The underworlds unknown to awareness

        At all—

        A Kingdom;

        See you now the heart unfold,

        The tired messages of animals form

        A love so misrepresented as to call it so

        One,

        Besides the box of fixatures,

        Captor or wrechetness

        The end of all evil,

        The Sun of a new kind

        Blood on the water,

        Bask in I now,

        Another misfortune

        The keeper of keys has gone and fallen

        Not into rest,

        But another world—

        Waking is he to the cries

        And the sorrow thoughts of others,

        The many amass,

        To structure what had bonded

        Him of his hands,

        The ties,

        No more a world he leaves behind!

        No more is he!

        Steady, mister

        I have forgiven the end of all what is real

        In exchange for your interest

        Sanctioned

        Embargo!

        So, wounded mother—

        In your care I bloom

        If only to forget of you,

        Upon waking my own,

        A gifted enchanted and given sword,

        No shield but I,

        As my own title

        Becomes coordinates;

        A map and globe to scale

        Crafted of thought

        Trickle now your tears, chorus

        Dear chorus—

        Sing now of accomplishments and whistles gestured at the woven wicker basket

        Have you a candle for us,

        Doctor—

        Or perhaps,

        As architect,

        You have fashioned, dear savior

        A mercy-

        Forgive us of our pondering

        Unknown of your nature

        Until light had vanished

        From our eyes

        And dark tortured skies

        Screeched with winds captivated

        As to know

        Where you had gone.

        Oh— why?!

        Would this lapis appease you?

        A ring of tin and aluminum;

        I thought not

        (Then again to think at all,

        Becomes your own world.)

        Again I am crying for your forgiveness

        A kindness granted

        Only to know once,

        The word of your will

        Again,

        The fur of cat is groomed

        With the essence of frankincense,

        The wreath of rosemary

        A run through the financial cordidor

        Panhandling

        There, I gathered wood for fire—

        The journey a gift of eternal enchantments

        A forceful trek to ponder

        What I had tied

        To my own,

        A heart,

        A soul,

        A seed—

        An ocean.

        Keeper's Saint,

        Will you again find tide with us?

        In our minds, we are at feast and in fortunes

        But our bodies gravely,

        Not at rest,

        But to give way to

        What is wanted.

        Embargo!

        For this true, it's no comedy upon us;

        These acts of kindness

        And tea fortold

        Have come again,

        As once in Athens,

        And again in Rome

        And now in New Jerusalem,

        As to be

        Opposite Eden

        —and suddenly,

        All the blondes

        I had become

        Had come to surface

        That I was her,

        Buried in my own blindness and envy

        Having thought of myself as the enemy

        And she of circumstantial evidence of the devil at large

        I pitied again,

        The blankness of my own heart

        The displacement of my own soul

        Never having been loved at all

        By a man besides my own father

        She can clear a sample!

        Why I got licenses,

        Replacements and mailboxes?!

        I got nothing but a refund

        Shit

        Seven daughters

        Seven worlds

        Seven waters

        BENYONCÉ and her 6 parallel selves are seated at an upscale restaurant in New York City.

        Oh my God—

        That's Beyoncé.

        No way!

        It is—

        Oh my Yod.

        Seven waters please

        Uh…

        My cousins!

        Cousins!

        You didn't know—?

        Family.

        Cousins! Right

        {THE GAYEST FANGIRL SCREAM THAT EVER}

        Sss.

        Demarcus, as we learn the super fan is called, after losing his job due to the incident, is sought out by Beyoncé and her 6 multidimentional selves and contracted as a bampheramph to enter the void and aide in time traveling the other dimensional multi space, returning each Beyonce to her respective existences and thus restoring the balance to the Beyonceverse as a whole; though he he learns he may never be able to return home to his primary dimension, he agrees anyway to the dangerous feat and is promised upon completion of the mission to be thoroughly rewarded, however Demarcus makes it known that the greatest reward of all is to have had the joy and experience of meeting his all time idol and lifelong hero— a tale of the love and power of fandom, and heroic journey of everyday heroes, brought together though the love and journey of music—and superstardom.

        [Demarcus is eventually returned to a dimension in which his wildest dreams have become a reality.]

        {embargo}

        I was serious enough,

        In my words and my ties

        For the sake of my bonds,

        Out of bounds and on

        Brooklyn bound trains,

        From Manhattan

        Machine washed field of fantasy,

        Outfitted for us all on the glory of a spring day

        In autumn,

        California heroine or lure,

        Folktales

        And superstardom

        Made of truth and of love,

        A new kind,

        The end of ages laced with wickedness

        A bounty on her words,

        The way of others are kind in their shadows,

        No one has called,

        And now,

        No one is watching

        Waiting, whisperer

        A different one, another kind

        The brief awaiting,

        Then there goes I

        Under the hidden sun,

        The Autumn come,

        The fall of man,

        The dawn of love,

        The synchronicity of sounds as songs

        The birds call home,

        No wonder the window was open.

        No books,

        All alone—

        To summon up my own galaxy

        Would be to wish

        I hadn't let tie me

        To worldly pleasure

        On fasting day—

        But yet again,

        Here calls my own nature,

        Needing to be needing to be wanted,

        Then withered, as it were, to something else.

        Hiding in your eyes,

        I am

        My love of natures kind

        Your hazel tides

        And ocean blue—

        The thought of jade,

        Who yet again

        Was meant for always,

        As I am only

        Darkness scorned beauty

        All of your luck, as my witness

        Forever to hear shadow

        To the wickedness of man

        Though we are not aligned,

        Still the same as many kind,

        I want not the slow churning

        Of being that, and this at all

        —as God is one

        And acts in many parts,

        All of us,

        Or some,

        Between set boundaries,

        Games of war,

        And for arguments sake, inquisitive

        Gestures of word fare, gameplay,

        Galleys and artfare—

        Begin to think you, me,

        And I, yourself, you—

        Lest we part in denial

        Of our dire cause

        To form man

        The Standard.

        The Classic.

        The Ordinary.

        And—

        You rat-toothed bastard!

        What did I do?!

        You know what you done!

        I haven't! And that's bad grammar—

        Don't you tell me how the hell to talk, before I kill ya!

        Kill me! For what!

        You know what!

        I must admit, I've become quite partial to using

        This Jimmy Fallon character

        As a human shield.

        WHY. WHY ME.

        wtf.

        lol

        Why Jimmy Fallon.

        Because.

        —

        AGH— NO

        HES GOOD HOOMAN SHIELD.

        HE'S A GOOD HUMAN SHIELD!

        Enter the corridors,

        The unclaimed nature

        Of travelers, in our time,

        Coming the wave of signs,

        Foreigners,

        Call watchers,

        Then and here,

        Come waiting, wanting to know glory,

        The foundation

        Of Love Light

        The faceless god

        Comes creeping in the night

        Seeking body to form

        Among the walking,

        A fiercety of weapons kind

        Explanations embellished with

        Seemingly meaningless

        Only wanting time to waste,

        Skinny and shallow,

        Part chef and waiting,

        None to others, at all,

        Therefore I now, part ways

        From waves and tides

        To become rain and ghosts,

        Beauty and wind,

        Lessons and learned sins,

        Therefore now I,

        Wait and wonder,

        Pondering to feed the birds

        Or quench the thirst

        For game and superstardom,

        Not only of hreatness,

        But ground in the greys and silvers of my hair

        Mustache and whiskers,

        Brows and hind eyes—

        Where are you now

        That I was upon waking,

        A mistress,

        But gathered now,

        Awakens under clouds of sun,

        To be another,

        Only formed as the ground crumbled under her

        Again, I live

        Again, I go where there is no light of sun

        By the shield of sight,

        And the whisp of this,

        That needs attention as such,

        To call I—

        A lost soul,

        But friendly enough ghost

        To have written songs in your partial kitewind.

        Then, said I—

        A watch upon the wrist would only tell time,

        But not the day or the place of arrival for I,

        Dear pardoned traveler,

        Have also come journeys

        Bound by galaxies grasp,

        To have whispered into ears,

        The things of Jesus

        You will wait for him

        As the curtain closes,

        To come again,

        though does he know not

        In which beast he will be

        But you, shadows

        Wait in his envy,

        The things you seek to ask and believe

        The greetings of long since foreshadowed bark

        Amongst you, believe now,

        A new tale of these things,

        As we bring peace,

        You are now

        In our forest,

        Whenever be you now

        Or forever,

        As all is eternal,

        As I am

        You are

        Fuck! Whatever that means!

        I know, right!

        Is this gonna happen every Friday now?!

        Every Friday you fast, yes!

        Goddamn!

        Or don't! I don't care, really. Up to you.

        No preference or preference really—

        Anandar!

        You called me out of my—

        —what was I saying!?

        First Aliocha

        Then Anandar,

        A salamander and wildebeest this morning

        The grounds had shook

        With all of the games being played

        In the honor of one

        Then,

        I thought

        A ghost myself—

        Impartial to suicide,

        But having lost the fit of love

        Now to be tied at the alter,

        A sash

        Okay.

        Delicate rain falls from leather skies,

        Calling beasts of ours to nest in the calm and warm

        Mother of Grattitude,

        May I ask,

        Where are you now,

        That I've become humbled,

        And true to art,

        As having been asked,

        Now not scrolled upon stone walls

        Or scryed by fire,

        But in this age,

        Begot by light,

        Another monster of my mind,

        Shifted into these as saints,

        The words of songs and poems,

        The pages of unknown worlds,

        In the cyberspace,

        Perhaps,

        Also as cosmos,

        Also as thoughts

        Also as words

        Also as light—

        Also as species;

        These things are true to which I know

        With what knowledge you have gave me

        To think this way,

        Upon each breath—

        No attempt to be prolific,

        But to be at all

        Some wages as exchanged

        Material things not wanted, but needed

        And monetary gains,

        Also as thoughts now,

        But perhaps also cosmos

        True, or not?

        Fact, or fiction?

        Carson, or Fallon?

        What?

        Who wore the pants better.

        I—

        Quickly!

        I'm a dead man.

        (I'm sure they're both dead.)

        Hurry up!

        What the fuck!

        We're talking about two literal ghosts here!

        Which is why—we don't have all day.

        Do you know how long it took me to get Wilder down here for this?

        Isn't he dead too?!

        Perhaps, I am.

        Boy, the rabbit was mad…

        Almost as mad as the hatter,

        And as expected

        GET THAT DAMN CAT OUT OF HERE!

        Your annual obsession is in;

        Turns out, you've come down with the madness

        We all tried on, as a hat once in fables

        But now,

        Machine washable,

        Returned to Amazon

        With the packaging label attached,

        And still!

        None was as mad as the black hatter at all!

        No tea, but only strong Colombian coffee led

        Taken black,

        And made so strong by Alice,

        Who indeed had been shrunk

        To be fit to be tied

        By Kendrick Lamar,

        No white rabbit at all,

        But oh,

        To call him a cat,

        Or a hatter,

        Or caterpillar

        Would make no sense at all—

        At all you say?!

        At all,

        As you see,

        He was no red King,

        No,

        But made house of cards

        And all had fallen on his kingdom

        To become something other

        Than Alice at all,

        But also lost

        For you see,

        She had fallen, dear Alice,

        Into some hole in Compton,

        And dropped

        Into the bottom of the ocean

        Propmptly below The Island

        Of Long

        —as so is below

        Had happened above

        Once a porcelain fable,

        Now having been painted,

        With the laces

        Or tie died folly

        Of uncorked

        Nothing happens for nothing at all

        No justice for just calls,

        No focus,

        Full world

        The fear bought

        And new war

        For walks

        Erhmergersh

        It's a purple flermergerder!

        *gasps*

        Erhmgersh!

        Whurt er luridly purple plurbergerder!!

        Lurvlry!

        Oh!! Ernd Shutrd ur lurvley sherd erv pruplelerplre!

        There's in sense in

        An evening with fate if he misses it

        Assumed to be dead, or with you—

        But for the cause,

        There was no absolute certainty of the remittance—

        The scoured and folded body

        Of the wonderful world of God,

        Once betrayed and forgotten

        For better or worse,

        With Gratitude asking for an experience

        Her waters had sculled canyons,

        And her words fell as oceans

        Of another place in time

        Or custom caskets

        Please bury me,

        sheathed in earth,

        So that I breathe her

        Forgiveness

        For a toxic and harmful incarnation

        Of our greedy

        Alignments and reconciliation

        Recognizing that—

        If it's going to go fast,

        It's gonna be loud—

        And if it's gonna be loud

        It might as well be a gun

        (Just kill me already)

        Not hungry yet,

        But moving my parts where they ought to be

        Out in the world,

        And not waiting at all

        To come home,

        If I'm called with the promise

        Of never returning

        —not to return here .

        Maybe i'm the one they call

        The devil himself

        When all I wanted

        Ever

        Was just to be loved

        —even by just my mother

        Not every other day

        But every day

        By someone

        I live and can't love

        In crustpunks city, USA

        Better known as Brooklyn New York

        Where the mullet is making a comeback

        God help em!

        I just turned back time

        By two whole minutes

        Thinking of skylines painted

        With music

        Meanwhile,

        I almost forgot I'm still a cat

        My fucking goodness

        But I've no use for a litter box

        Not even a little bit

        (Which things should be and which things though not)

        The curious case of Benjamin Button

        In full throttle.

        I'm so serious—

        That's the second mullet I've seen in a week.

        Stop it!

        God help em

        God bless em

        Gid love em

        Haven't I been standing here

        More than 12 minutes already?

        Standing still in New York

        As new worlds are formed

        With new words

        I must have done something wrong today.

        The bus driver was okay lookin.

        I don't look at bus drivers.

        I'm like—

        Woah, buddy.

        You can handle all that you can handle all this.

        Good job, Jimmy.

        Can you please stop using me as a human shield.

        No! Cause then I'd need another human shield!

        Then get another human shield!

        No!

        Why not!

        This one is indisposable!

        Oh God.

        Where'd she go!?

        Who?!

        God!

        What! She never came here!

        What do you mean!? She said—

        I was here the whole time! I didn't see anybody!

        Well who'd you see?

        Nobody, just some crack head!

        Goddammit, we missed her!

        What?!

        Didn't I tell you—all the crackheads are God?!

        What! Nobody ever told me that.

        How did nobody ever tell you that? I told you that!

        You never told me that.

        I told you that. I know I told you that.

        You never told me that.

        Well—

        Goddammit.

        What the FUCK.

        Why the devil always wanna be BEHIND a motherfucker?

        Do I have something on my back?

        Oh look. A portal.

        Skrillex?!

        It looks like

        The Devil attached to my back

        I might have to take a knife in it

        A counterpart

        To take the hex off

        (Something told me not to go out.)

        Something also told me

        Nothing happens at all

        With no movement

        But God was lost as crossroads, either how

        And anyway,

        And anyway, we all got lost

        At one time or another

        What if I told you,

        Once formed to one another

        You've become

        Forever bonded

        AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

        You really want to bring the—

        Now,

        When you need it most, you become the hero you are

        Ther you always were.

        But least expected it,

        Especially now that everyone

        Well fit to be

        Tied to the cross

        This for sure is why I dont fly spirit.

        The New York experience

        At poverty level

        Is eye opening

        To the inequality

        And injustice

        Foraged by ignorance

        I've never been to bowling green

        But got errands to run

        Honestly,

        You put your practically newborn baby in a bus

        Exposed to all these people?!

        BITCH, are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?

        #I_NY

        Yo somebody' actual grandma just got on the bus

        In a tube top

        I'm not eggagerating

        This woman was like 70 years old

        And you know black don't crack!

        But I'm like:

        DAMN.

        Who GRANDMAMA IS THIS?!

        Then she gon sit down next to me,

        And get on Instagram.

        She's checkin her stories.

        I'm like—

        Damn,

        She looks about the same age as my actual grandmother.

        That's—

        I'm like

        Woah.

        My grandmother don't do all that.

        My grandma taught me how to make lemonade,

        that's it.

        How to make lemonade, and to stay in abusive marriages until the kids grow up.

        That's it.

        This I know.

        Thanks grandma.

        I almost like this lady better.

        She tore up, but she hip!

        Is not the entire world a chemical dependence?

        Dancing through projects

        And galaxies

        Stunted in movement, alcoves

        Shallow ponds and hollow rivers tides

        Comes again who I am,

        When not all else m

        She got off the bus, I was like

        “Bye grandma!”

        Aww.

        Imma miss her.

        She smelled good, too.

        You know racism is really bad

        When a colored woman would rather wear an old, ratty old wig

        Or a terrible weave

        Than her own natural hair.

        I'm guilty of it myself—

        And this is because I know

        The way you are treated in public—

        By not only whites— but other blacks

        Judgement and mistreatment of the public in general—

        If you natural hair is the furthest away from what has been made to be the ideal standard.

        I'm rolling through the hood

        To return after 9 months

        This internet router

        Which never worked due to “outages”

        And came with hidden fees

        Now on my credit report

        The deeper I get into the hood, and the more the bus clears out

        The most clusters of housing projects

        And dilapidated buildings I see—

        A reminder that the world at all much has not been changed

        But only further hidden away from the eyes of what is known

        A car without a name a fixer upper but a keeper

        A classic

        “OH” ?! OH! YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

        You had a life?

        I had SOMETHING.

        What was it?

        AGH?!

        No, it's okay.

        You were wrong about everything.

        I was— you just shifted.

        At an interesting and quick pace,

        The man asked to be seen by the doctor,

        A wish,

        No distasteful strand of eloquence left unopened—

        He asked for a mailbox, and she gave him a shovel

        (And a shower for a show!)

        O Conan!!!

        That just became so readily amusing to me,

        That I might have failed to have mentioned, dear reader

        An atrocity unwinding for us we have found—

        and we have found such indeed, in perpetual times,

        To be one another, and all at all times! A quest!

        And keep each of them with me

        For factor of disappearance— “¿whereforeartthou women? “

        We'll ask—

        (But no children please)

        I get it;

        I got tracked down for an autograph

        And asked for one, if any

        For a stone each

        Goes to the other.

        Listen,

        Movement again

        Catch me if you can, car//cat.

        What a head trip

        What a disasterous ask,

        How I failed to have lost you at all,

        And found one at the crossroads,

        Dropped off at the crosswalk

        Don't forget waffles!

        Stramlining streamers

        And bicycle tires

        I love iron

        And ironing boards in the flatiron district

        Fair and very well done, your honor

        Are we all on the same ark now,

        Noah?!

        No!

        It couldn't be I had ever lived so dangerously

        Look at me

        I went all that way

        And only lost $22 dollars!

        A dollar a minute!

        —times a wasting!

        I went all this way

        No more storms,

        No, I don't want to smile;

        I should just start the fire under my soul

        To get lost with it.

        I'm still tied to the art,

        Still tied to it all

        I still can't decide

        For my heart

        Or my soul

        If I should just move on with it.

        I shouldn't move over so fast;

        This whole car has bucket seats.

        I should just leave it to God,

        And I don't want to worry too much

        About projects

        I already took losses on

        If it buffers again,

        I know I'm in charge

        Just thinking about where I've gone with it says

        I should let it go,

        All the way gone.

        I don't need a divorce

        I need to resurface

        Just let go

        And just get gone

        I've been missing a piece of my heart

        And I've had a lot of fun times

        On rooftops

        But I got two dogs barkin

        With no bones

        And no boners

        As thrones

        To sit upon

        What was that about the crown?

        What doesn't serve you only

        Sell the dream they sold you

        To show you

        The cold shoulders;

        I need no more open doors

        And no pawns

        If it's not worth all of it

        All of it.

        I don't want

        More open doors,

        And more artifacts to show

        I could only get cold hard numbers

        No nurses more;

        Wait till you get a divorce—

        That'll show you the cold hard world.

        I'm not worried about an offer.

        I'm not worried about a job,

        As long as I've got

        long John Silvers

        I'm not worried about the way it works so much

        Except

        Leaving a piece of myself

        In the past,

        With no way to get out.

        (There's no way to get out)

        Didn't I say before

        That I loved the whole world over you.

        You built the whole world over water

        The wall around Rome in a day.

        Remember the time you sold your piece

        And your peace

        Remember what you could give

        To forgive

        To forget

        To spend your entire life

        Spinning and spinning

        In the wild

        And

        End-the-end

        It's a win-win situation.

        It's a push to start world, you know

        Dollar signs and

        Brunches

        Now, far beyond private

        Firewall

        And a lockdown mode.

        I'm dizzy with the loss of time

        But you'd chain me to a bedpost,

        Managed by a stranger

        Then again, at night

        I've lost all hopes

        All night,

        Steady fishing in a man made pond

        For nine hosts.

        So if 9 out of 10 times

        The answer is yes,

        And one no—

        Might as well vote;

        Get on with it

        I should fill out an app for McDonald's yet

        I'm already full of c/gum

        And water.

        So why not?

        A representative of God on all behalfs

        Tearing down the institutions of sanity

        Forbearance of betrayal

        Unkind, but bewildered

        They come in all incarnations

        Ignorant to one another

        Which one's which?

        However,

        The light that brings awareness to all things,

        The triad of knowledge,

        Wisdom and

        illumination

        Your pain is words in music

        Tears to translation,

        The chaos, destruction

        Of forming worlds once thought

        As foraged, once of thought

        But now become of us

        What we are

        The color of God

        (He looks to meet his untimely demise atop a skyscapter in midtown Manhattan)

        Oh God, here it goes

        Below, the summoned protector waits, awakened as archangel and antithesis to what is known, to catch him — thus prolonging his existence, and though not truly preventing his untimely death, giving birth to his enlightenment...

        Oh God, here it comes.

        He jumps, giving way to all element

        -a ragdoll,

        She stands basking in his glory,

        Nonchalont

        And catches him.

        A high tide breaks,

        Catching into a storm

        In the night,

        Off the coast,

        In Los Angeles

        Embargo!

        Embargo!

        A sanctioned cry,

        For here once more Friday comes,

        Again we call to all Ark,

        The martyr of aces—

        Keeper of stones,

        Craft of Wanda,

        They call God,

        But also non-form

        Circumstance of other

        Antithesis,

        Before antiquity.

        The light in your language

        Has crafted pure steadyform

        Emotion in my cadence,

        Thought to be worlds of wonder

        Dance, brave fortune has captured!

        Light, scared not of darkness

        But ending in all time

        The underworlds unknown to awareness

        At all—

        A Kingdom;

        See you now the heart unfold,

        The tired messages of animals form

        A love so misrepresented as to call it so

        One,

        Besides the box of fixatures,

        Captor or wrechetness

        The end of all evil,

        The Sun of a new kind

        Blood on the water,

        Bask in I now,

        Another misfortune

        The keeper of keys has gone and fallen

        Not into rest,

        But another world—

        Waking is he to the cries

        And the sorrow thoughts of others,

        The many amass,

        To structure what had bonded

        Him of his hands,

        The ties,

        No more a world he leaves behind!

        No more is he!

        Steady, mister

        I have forgiven the end of all what is real

        In exchange for your interest

        Sanctioned

        Embargo!

        Embargo!

        So, wounded mother—

        In your care I bloom

        If only to forget of you,

        Upon waking my own,

        A gifted enchanted and given sword,

        No shield but I,

        As my own title

        Becomes coordinates;

        A map and globe to scale

        Crafted of thought

        Trickle now your tears, chorus

        Dear chorus—

        Sing now of accomplishments and whistles gestured at the woven wicker basket

        Have you a candle for us,

        Doctor—

        Or perhaps,

        As architect,

        You have fashioned, dear savior

        A mercy-

        Forgive us of our pondering

        Unknown of your nature

        Until light had vanished

        From our eyes

        And dark tortured skies

        Screeched with winds captivated

        As to know

        Where you had gone.

        Oh— why?!

        Would this lapis appease you?

        A ring of tin and aluminum;

        I thought not

        (Then again to think at all,

        Becomes your own world.)

        Again I am crying for your forgiveness

        A kindness granted

        Only to know once,

        The word of your will

        Again,

        The fur of cat is groomed

        With the essence of frankincense,

        The wreath of rosemary

        A run through the financial cordidor

        Panhandling

        There, I gathered wood for fire—

        The journey a gift of eternal enchantments

        A forceful trek to ponder

        What I had tied

        To my own,

        A heart,

        A soul,

        A seed—

        An ocean.

        Keeper's Saint,

        Will you again find tide with us?

        In our minds, we are at feast and in fortunes

        But our bodies gravely,

        Not at rest,

        But to give way to

        What is wanted.

        Embargo!

        For this true, it's no comedy upon us;

        These acts of kindness

        And tea fortold

        Have come again,

        As once in Athens,

        And again in Rome

        And now in New Jerusalem,

        As to be

        Opposite Eden

        —and suddenly,

        All the blondes

        I had become

        Had come to surface

        That I was her,

        Buried in my own blindness and envy

        Having thought of myself as the enemy

        And she of circumstantial evidence of the devil at large

        I pitied again,

        The blankness of my own heart

        The displacement of my own soul

        Never having been loved at all

        By a man besides my own father

        She can clear a sample!

        Why I got licenses,

        Replacements and mailboxes?!

        Sss.

        Demarcus, as we learn the super fan is called, after losing his job due to the incident, is sought out by Beyoncé and her 6 multidimentional selves and contracted as a bampheramph to enter the void and aide in time traveling the other dimensional multi space, returning each Beyonce to her respective existences and thus restoring the balance to the Beyonceverse as a whole; though he he learns he may never be able to return home to his primary dimension, he agrees anyway to the dangerous feat and is promised upon completion of the mission to be thoroughly rewarded, however Demarcus makes it known that the greatest reward of all is to have had the joy and experience of meeting his all time idol and lifelong hero— a tale of the love and power of fandom, and heroic journey of everyday heroes, brought together though the love and journey of music—and superstardom.

        [Demarcus is eventually returned to a dimension in which his wildest dreams have become a reality.]

        {embargo}

        I was serious enough,

        In my words and my ties

        For the sake of my bonds,

        Out of bounds and on

        Brooklyn bound trains,

        From Manhattan

        Machine washed field of fantasy,

        Outfitted for us all on the glory of a spring day

        In autumn,

        California heroine or lure,

        Folktales

        And superstardom

        Made of truth and of love,

        A new kind,

        The end of ages laced with wickedness

        A bounty on her words,

        The way of others are kind in their shadows,

        No one has called,

        And now,

        No one is watching

        Waiting, whisperer

        A different one, another kind

        The brief awaiting,

        Then there goes I

        Under the hidden sun,

        The Autumn come,

        The fall of man,

        The dawn of love,

        The synchronicity of sounds as songs

        The birds call home,

        No wonder the window was open.

        No books,

        All alone—

        To summon up my own galaxy

        Would be to wish

        But yet again,

        Here calls my own nature,

        Needing to be needing to be wanted,

        Then withered, as it were, to something else.

        Hiding in your eyes,

        I am

        My love of natures kind

        Your hazel tides

        And ocean blue—

        The thought of jade,

        Was meant for always,

        Darkness scorned beauty

        All of your luck, as my witness

        Forever to hear shadow

        To the wickedness of man

        Though we are not aligned,

        Still the same as many kind,

        I want not the slow churning

        Of being that, and this at all

        And acts in many parts,

        All of us,

        Or some,

        Between set boundaries,

        Games of war,

        And for arguments sake, inquisitive

        Gestures of word fare, gameplay,

        Galleys and artfare—

        Begin to think you, me,

        And I, yourself, you—

        Lest we part in denial

        Of our dire cause

        To form man

        The Standard.

        The Classic.

        The Ordinary.

        And—

        You rat-toothed bastard!

        What did I do?!

        You know what you done!

        I haven't! And that's bad grammar—

        Don't you tell me how the hell to talk, before I kill ya!

        Kill me! For what!

        You know what!

        I must admit, I've become quite partial to using

        This Jimmy Fallon character

        As a human shield.

        WHY. WHY ME.

        Of travelers, in our time,

        Coming the wave of signs,

        Foreigners,

        Call watchers,

        Then and here,

        Come waiting, wanting to know glory,

        The foundation

        Of Love Light

        The faceless god

        Comes creeping in the night

        Seeking body to form

        Among the walking,

        A fiercety of weapons kind

        Explanations embellished with

        Seemingly meaningless

        Only wanting time to waste,

        Skinny and shallow,

        Part chef and waiting,

        None to others, at all,

        Therefore I now, part ways

        From waves and tides

        To become rain and ghosts,

        Beauty and wind,

        Lessons and learned sins,

        Therefore now I,

        Wait and wonder,

        Pondering to feed the birds

        Or quench the thirst

        For game and superstardom,

        Not only of hreatness,

        But ground in the greys and silvers of my hair

        Mustache and whiskers,

        Brows and hind eyes—

        Where are you now

        That I was upon waking,

        A mistress,

        But gathered now,

        Awakens under clouds of sun,

        To be another,

        Only formed as the ground crumbled under her

        Again, I live

        Again, I go where there is no light of sun

        By the shield of sight,

        And the whisp of this,

        That needs attention as such,

        To call I—

        A lost soul,

        But friendly enough ghost

        To have written songs in your partial kitewind.

        Then, said I—

        A watch upon the wrist would only tell time,

        But not the day or the place of arrival for I,

        Dear pardoned traveler,

        Have also come journeys

        Bound by galaxies grasp,

        To have whispered into ears,

        The things of Jesus

        You will wait for him

        As the curtain closes,

        To come again,

        though does he know not

        In which beast he will be

        But you, shadows

        Wait in his envy,

        The things you seek to ask and believe

        The greetings of long since foreshadowed bark

        Amongst you, believe now,

        A new tale of these things,

        As we bring peace,

        You are now

        In our forest,

        Whenever be you now

        Or forever,

        As all is eternal,

        As I am

        You are

        Fuck! Whatever that means!

        I know, right!

        Is this gonna happen every Friday now?!

        Every Friday you fast, yes!

        Goddamn!

        Or don't! I don't care, really. Up to you.

        No preference or preference really—

        Anandar!

        You called me out of my—

        —what was I saying!?

        First Aliocha

        Then Anandar,

        A salamander and wildebeest this morning

        The grounds had shook

        With all of the games being played

        In the honor of one

        Then,

        I thought

        A ghost myself—

        Impartial to suicide,

        But having lost the fit of love

        Now to be tied at the alter,

        A sash

        Okay.

        Delicate rain falls from leather skies,

        Calling beasts of ours to nest in the calm and warm

        Mother of Grattitude,

        May I ask,

        Where are you now,

        That I've become humbled,

        And true to art,

        As having been asked,

        Now not scrolled upon stone walls

        Or scryed by fire,

        But in this age,

        Begot by light,

        Another monster of my mind,

        Shifted into these as saints,

        The words of songs and poems,

        The pages of unknown worlds,

        In the cyberspace,

        Perhaps,

        Also as cosmos,

        Also as thoughts

        Also as words

        Also as light—

        Also as species;

        These things are true to which I know

        With what knowledge you have gave me

        To think this way,

        Upon each breath—

        No attempt to be prolific,

        But to be at all

        Some wages as exchanged

        Material things not wanted, but needed

        And monetary gains,

        Also as thoughts now,

        But perhaps also cosmos

        True, or not?

        Fact, or fiction?

        Carson, or Fallon?

        What?

        Who wore the pants better.

        I—

        Quickly!

        I'm a dead man.

        (I'm sure they're both dead.)

        Hurry up!

        What the fuck!

        We're talking about two literal ghosts here!

        Which is why—we don't have all day.

        Do you know how long it took me to get Wilder down here for this?

        Isn't he dead too?!

        Perhaps, I am.

        Boy, the rabbit was mad…

        Almost as mad as the hatter,

        And as expected

        GET THAT DAMN CAT OUT OF HERE!

        Your annual obsession is in;

        Turns out, you've come down with the madness

        We all tried on, as a hat once in fables

        But now,

        Machine washable,

        Returned to Amazon

        With the packaging label attached,

        And still!

        None was as mad as the black hatter at all!

        No tea, but only strong Colombian coffee led

        Taken black,

        And made so strong by Alice,

        Who indeed had been shrunk

        To be fit to be tied

        By Kendrick Lamar,

        No white rabbit at all,

        But oh,

        To call him a cat,

        Or a hatter,

        Or caterpillar

        Would make no sense at all—

        At all you say?!

        At all,

        As you see,

        He was no red King,

        No,

        But made house of cards

        And all had fallen on his kingdom

        To become something other

        Than Alice at all,

        But also lost

        For you see,

        She had fallen, dear Alice,

        Into some hole in Compton,

        And dropped

        Into the bottom of the ocean

        Propmptly below The Island

        Of Long

        —as so is below

        Had happened above

        Once a porcelain fable,

        Now having been painted,

        With the laces

        Or tie died folly

        Of uncorked

        Nothing happens for nothing at all

        No justice for just calls,

        No focus,

        Full world

        The fear bought

        And new war

        For walks

        Erhmergersh

        It's a purple flermergerder!

        *gasps*

        Erhmgersh!

        Whurt er luridly purple plurbergerder!!

        Lurvlry!

        Oh!! Ernd Shutrd ur lurvley sherd erv pruplelerplre!

        There's in sense in

        An evening with fate if he misses it

        Assumed to be dead, or with you—

        But for the cause,

        There was no absolute certainty of the remittance—

        The scoured and folded body

        Of the wonderful world of God,

        Once betrayed and forgotten

        For better or worse,

        With Gratitude asking for an experience

        Her waters had sculled canyons,

        And her words fell as oceans

        Of another place in time

        Or custom caskets

        Please bury me,

        sheathed in earth,

        So that I breathe her

        Forgiveness

        For a toxic and harmful incarnation

        Of our greedy

        Alignments and reconciliation

        Recognizing that—

        If it's going to go fast,

        It's gonna be loud—

        And if it's gonna be loud

        It might as well be a gun

        (Just kill me already)

        Not hungry yet,

        But moving my parts where they ought to be

        Out in the world,

        And not waiting at all

        To come home,

        If I'm called with the promise

        Of never returning

        —not to return here .

        Maybe i'm the one they call

        The devil himself

        When all I wanted

        Ever

        Was just to be loved

        —even by just my mother

        Not every other day

        But every day

        By someone

        I live and can't love

        In crustpunks city, USA

        Better known as Brooklyn New York

        Where the mullet is making a comeback

        God help em!

        I just turned back time

        By two whole minutes

        Thinking of skylines painted

        With music

        Meanwhile,

        I almost forgot I'm still a cat

        My fucking goodness

        But I've no use for a litter box

        Not even a little bit

        (Which things should be and which things though not)

        The curious case of Benjamin Button

        In full throttle.

        I'm so serious—

        That's the second mullet I've seen in a week.

        Stop it!

        God help em

        God bless em

        Gid love em

        Haven't I been standing here

        More than 12 minutes already?

        Standing still in New York

        As new worlds are formed

        With new words

        I must have done something wrong today.

        The bus driver was okay lookin.

        I don't look at bus drivers.

        I'm like—

        Woah, buddy.

        You can handle all that you can handle all this.

        Good job, Jimmy.

        Can you please stop using me as a human shield.

        No! Cause then I'd need another human shield!

        Then get another human shield!

        No!

        Why not!

        This one is indisposable!

        Oh God.

        Where'd she go!?

        Who?!

        God!

        What! She never came here!

        What do you mean!? She said—

        I was here the whole time! I didn't see anybody!

        Well who'd you see?

        Nobody, just some crack head!

        Goddammit, we missed her!

        What?!

        Didn't I tell you—all the crackheads are God?!

        What! Nobody ever told me that.

        How did nobody ever tell you that? I told you that!

        You never told me that.

        I told you that. I know I told you that.

        You never told me that.

        Well—

        Goddammit.

        What the FUCK.

        Why the devil always wanna be BEHIND a motherfucker?

        Do I have something on my back?

        Oh look. A portal.

        Skrillex?!

        It looks like

        The Devil attached to my back

        I might have to take a knife in it

        A counterpart

        To take the hex off

        (Something told me not to go out.)

        Something also told me

        Nothing happens at all

        With no movement

        But God was lost as crossroads, either how

        And anyway,

        And anyway, we all got lost

        At one time or another

        What if I told you,

        Once formed to one another

        You've become

        Forever bonded

        AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

        You really want to bring the—

        Now,

        When you need it most, you become the hero you are

        Ther you always were.

        But least expected it,

        Especially now that everyone

        Well fit to be

        Tied to the cross

        This for sure is why I dont fly spirit.

        The New York experience

        At poverty level

        Is eye opening

        To the inequality

        And injustice

        Foraged by ignorance

        I've never been to bowling green

        But got errands to run

        Honestly,

        You put your practically newborn baby in a bus

        Exposed to all these people?!

        BITCH, are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?

        #I_NY

        Yo somebody' actual grandma just got on the bus

        In a tube top

        I'm not eggagerating

        This woman was like 70 years old

        And you know black don't crack!

        But I'm like:

        DAMN.

        Who GRANDMAMA IS THIS?!

        Then she gon sit down next to me,

        And get on Instagram.

        She's checkin her stories.

        I'm like—

        Damn,

        She looks about the same age as my actual grandmother.

        That's—

        I'm like

        Woah.

        My grandmother don't do all that.

        My grandma taught me how to make lemonade,

        that's it.

        How to make lemonade, and to stay in abusive marriages until the kids grow up.

        That's it.

        This I know.

        Thanks grandma.

        I almost like this lady better.

        She tore up, but she hip!

        Is not the entire world a chemical dependence?

        Dancing through projects

        And galaxies

        Stunted in movement, alcoves

        Shallow ponds and hollow rivers tides

        Comes again who I am,

        When not all else m

        She got off the bus, I was like

        “Bye grandma!”

        Aww.

        Imma miss her.

        She smelled good, too.

        You know racism is really bad

        When a colored woman would rather wear an old, ratty old wig

        Or a terrible weave

        Than her own natural hair.

        I'm guilty of it myself—

        And this is because I know

        The way you are treated in public—

        By not only whites— but other blacks

        Judgement and mistreatment of the public in general—

        If you natural hair is the furthest away from what has been made to be the ideal standard.

        I'm rolling through the hood

        To return after 9 months

        This internet router

        Which never worked due to “outages”

        And came with hidden fees

        Now on my credit report

        The deeper I get into the hood, and the more the bus clears out

        The most clusters of housing projects

        And dilapidated buildings I see—

        A reminder that the world at all much has not been changed

        But only further hidden away from the eyes of what is known

        A car without a name a fixer upper but a keeper

        A classic

        Skeleton, skin and bones

        Skeleton Keys,

        I am formicated

        I thought none deserving of such

        At all

        All the icons

        And idols

        And suffered star worshipers

        Watching for lost survivors

        Mezmerized, believing you will fold at mercy

        The ions, are to say at least

        All to none

        They had already worshiped her

        Already murdered her

        Already bloodied her gown!

        Drown, now!

        Die! Silence!

        He shakes his head and smirks smugly.

        Oh…

        “OH” ?! OH! YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

        You had a life?

        I had SOMETHING.

        What was it?

        Wow.

        —SHOULD KILL YOU.

        AGH?!

        No, it's okay.

        You were wrong about everything.

        I was— you just shifted.

        You shifted! Who are you?!

      • Journey To Tomorrowland: “High Production Value” (Tales of a Superstar DJ)

        “The New Adventures of Old Supacree”

        This is not what I intentioned.

        Well, what had you intentioned,

        dammit , how do you spell her name?

        Spell it? I can barely say it!

        “C'cx–

        WRONG.

        How would you say this name.

        Axel?

        Thas' a stupid name

        Not for a Rockstar.

        That's already a rockstar

        Is it?

        Whatever, man.

        The Rock must have been buzzing in some sort of special way on this day; because for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

        I had finally rearranged the remainder of my seemingly new surroundings— the miniature Keurig— a status symbol, of course— looked handsome on the work desk— the cat tree seemed to match, though with no actual feesible monetary income,, no actual cat, and no end in sight— the tree itself would have to be enough to lift my spirits. It was a nice cat tree, almost untouched and looking very brand new— though the couch had a few scratches, though easily hidden with the decorative use of a couple throws—at least I had a couch, and all that was left to accomplish before fully enjoying was to arrange an order of Febreeze to rid it of its previous owner's dandruff smell, and general mismanagement—besides that, it was itself almost brand new as well, and it seemed a strange new world to wake up in, after sleeping in a nearly empty apartment for 6 months; there was 6 months left in my lease, and I was getting nervous that they would try to push me out—hopefully I would find someplace better, or at the very least higher up—with the same amenities intact. Still, I was working as diligently as in could on organizing—at least the recordings, to put together the next group of projects as quickly as I could— nevermind the writing—and there was so, so much of it, I hadn't a clue what to do.

        I had been avoiding Rockefeller Plaza like the plague for quite sometime—it always made me nervous in a sort of way I didn't understand, in that I would pulsate and vibrate differently, and more often times than not, was upset and concerned that I had yet to go to the top—a costly feat—nor could I afford to entertain or enjoy any of the amusements at the bottom—not that I wanted to, as the older I got, and especially the longer time spent in New York, the more off putting the public and large crowds were—particularly after a remarkably disgusting respiratory infection I caught on new years, battling a crowd which became impossible to move through at all—let alone see the ball drop—and I had learned my lesson, especially after The Macy's Day parade; the crowds in New York were disgustingly unbearable, and in order to get a good view of anything, you would have to arrive nearly a full day early, and simply camp—now I knew why people packed around collapsible lawn chairs on holiday weekends.

        I had been blindsided by Fallon towards the end of the Macy's day parade—I hadn't any clue at all that he apparentlyboarticipated annually, as it had been years since I had watched the parade myself with my parents—and still, it was iconic—I always wanted to go. Still, and even though I had only written very little of him up to that point, I found it disasterous that as his name was announced and the float which carried him and The Roots, the best late night band on Television, not by opinion, but by fact—as I had most recently been studying and researching as thoroughly as I could all of the late night hosts since the dawning of Television in preparation to write this pilot, The TV People, short handed to TVP—and just then I recalled a dream from the night before, about Pat Kirkpatrick—for the first time in the dream world, it wasn't Fallon at all, but Pat Kirkpatrick.

        I couldn't remember the dream, nor could I seemingly work myself out of the rut that had been the plateau in writing the show—the show itself was heavy, with so many characters, all of which each had been given detailed and specific personalities, livelihoods, and backgrounds—in fact, I hadn't written anything in such a way since college, with detail—actually, I had never written anything so detailed at all, so character oriented that the character analyses filled entire pages of documents with excruciating vividness, as if these people were real. Well, now they were—and Fallon was neither Patrick as I was Esha, and the story has taken its own form, still however birthing an incredibly awkward and romanticized fascination and near obsession with the TV people themselves—not that I would feed it to be so. I blocked out the news outlets, the media, the alrogithm's suggestions to watch bits and pieces of Fallon, though, however, I refused, and somehow, I didn't need it. Fearfully so, he was somewhere lodged deep somewhere inside of me—and I was even sort of embarrassed to have written some of the things I had of his essence, however prophetic it seemed to be, that for about a three week period between April and May, I seemed to have gone off into a trance of sorts, writing for hours and experiencing vivid visions of this show, The TV Prople, alongside writing The Festival Project ™ And all of its markers—there were so many worlds, so many ways throughout them—and now as I had realized, I had actually been writing about Fallon nearly as long as I had been writing about Sonny, but differently. I had never of course come face to face with Fallon as I had the latter—and still—found it somewhat nessecary to hide my face beneath a mask as his float passed my viewing spaf , an elevated view from the staircase of some church, which had happened to be perfect—and although I was certain it's not as if he was looking for or at me—I had just then been writing of this Cosmic Avenger, and hadn't any idea at the time of Fallon in reality having been an actual magician, and still— with cameras everywhere, and knowing even what I had written—I didn't want to be caught by any passing cameras with any sort of blush or worse—a smile on my face as the float passed— a smile which would flash my atrocious gap-tooth and crooked smile I was sure was permanent, by then having been in the homeless shelter nearly a year. As soon as his name was announced, I promptly pulled up my mask, hiding under my sunglasses. I had already been caught on camera earlier in the parade gawking at some float—now was not the time to be caught gawking again.

        He, like Rob Lowe seemed impeccably professional and well-rehearsed, like a cartoon character— he was, after all, kind of a cartoon character, however now, even if it was partly due to my own writing, I took him more seriously. There was a darkness about him— a sometimes glassy-eyed, almost scary darkness that told me, even a world away, not to fuck with this dude—some kind of animal or monster I was sure we both shared, however mine more the type and category of insatable and undernourished and his more peaking its head out in the form of a multi-millionaire network puppet, which housed an untamable powerhouse of musicianship, manhood, and wit— it's true, I was finally scared of him, knowing after all what the true tears of a clown could be, a dangerous man in a uniformed suit, the Everyman for the programmed masses, and the funny man with a jig to dance, a story to tell, and an indoor life— secret realm within I was sure no one knew. I fed the monster with respect to the home, happy wife, and children— I, after all, loved love, and only wanted it for myself, leaving alone the parts of a man I had found and was sure was broken enough to have left me puzzled and star studded rather than struck as I always was, tears welling up at the thought of it that something should be mended neither I or anything I was could not fix—I continued to write, however, knowing I was walking on glass barefoot and tiptoeing on eggshells around the mass media conglomerate of the network that stood between my feeble world and his, the higher ups— and beyond: it was, after all, a level system— and now with a beautifully decorated and fully apartment, besides my mattress on the floor instead of the space saving loft bed I had wanted—though it looked just right with the piano bench as a headboard, housing my crystals and new globe, plus a colorful collection of books I could crack open as I awoke to the morning light, no longer so early but increasingly later, as I shifted into the insomniatic habits of a true DJ and music producer, still writing and reading in the mornings, however— I had to wonder what level I was truly on.

        My apartment looked like a home. The decor was better than I could have imagined myself even, the tasteful furnishings and modern elegance shifting my reality— no longer an empty apartment, now a fashionable hub for art and creation. I assumed the cat would come along in the winter, with any hopes that I would finish my albums by then—and also looming over me— my last life, and the people in it struggling to call up to me in this very ascended realm, which I was lucky to inhabit.

        ‘Thank you God for your many blessings'

        My wishes it seemed, had been granted— magic did indeed seem real, and though I had an Amazon return packages and ready to go— there wasn't a time and place I could see myself as ready to even be near The Rock, some festering bulletwound in my heart, all that I had written, not just of Fallon, but of the rest of the people I had honored by word mark but had not yet the status or wealth to have ever known as human at all, but more products of the program; with intention, however, it was the path I had followed to be destined here somehow though small codes and doorways, signals and symbols which called to me and seemed only I could see—but were there in plain sight, and with the right eyes, had meant more than I ever dreamed anything could— open doors to a world I had indeed created myself, and in turn, the world in which I lived had also been created around me. I had to, in my mind, find the light inside all of whom I studied, to humanize myself—nurturing some fascination of fame and celebrity inside which still stood unanswered, the question of why and how one becomes so high up that without trying, that I might continue to find them in my mind's eye and in my world, on the outside, time after time.

        The men with the littlest dicks

        Drive the loudest bikes

        And they talk too much

        About nothing

        To no one

        The men with the littlest dicks

        Do the littlest things

        I call it niggardly

        Dispite the color

        Follow the leader

        To instill fear

        Within earshot

        The men with the littlest dicks

        Want the skinniest women

        The chicks who remind them of

        Innocence lost

        A childhood spent

        Getting boredom for freedom

        And allowences for doing nothing

        The men with the littlest dicks

        Do the littlest shit

        Like make everyone miserable

        Yes, it is a miserable existence,

        Never being wanted, however

        I should know better than this

        TINA FEY

        SON OF A BITCH.

        (Everyone's still drunk)

        What.

        Why, what happened?

        He got here before us.

        What?!

        How do you know?

        [pause]

        Okay.

        This weird detour is paying off in some kind of way—

        I'm still heavily obsessed with the fact that Johnny Carson referred to his weird drunken jacking off as “cranking it”

        ON TV.

        On something close to live television in like—

        The 80's

        Was it the 80's?

        I don't know,

        And apparently even Johnny Carson doesn't know, because he was “sauced”,

        So let's just go ahead and add that to the list of ghosts I have to track down for making me squeal like a little fucking schoolgirl.

        However,

        I'm half convinced,

        He's still around—

        Oh yes.

        I do believe these—

        THIS MAN—

        Oh, holy shit here it goes.

        HERE'S JOHNNY!

        Aw, fuck.

        I told you not do.

        What was I supposed to do—?!

        Not do it

        It was a blood oath—

        I told you—

        Mi had to do it.

        *shrugs*

        Well, now, you're fucked.

        STAY DOWN, MOTHERFUCKER.

        Ooh. This is gonna hurt.

        I swear to god,

        Every day of my life:

        I will KILL YOU

        YOU CANT KILL ME.

        AND EVERY DAY THAT YOU DO NOT DIE;

        I WILL

        JUST STAY DOWN, MOTHERFUCKER—

        DIE, MOTHERFUCKER—

        GO. TO. SLEEP.

        aaaaaGGGGHhHHHHHHHHHHHH.

        —I WILL KILL YOU

        .

        Don't give up!

        Seriously!

        Seriously,

        I got money on this.z

        Really?

        What. How much.

        Just $10.

        Oh.

        That's good

        Yeah, but it's the only cash I've had in months!

        I forgot what it was.

        I'm rich,

        Everything's cashless.

        Tickets! Get your tickets!

        Ze are cheaper here on ze black market.

        “The Black Market”

        How much for this one?

        $9

        I'll take three.

        What the fuck is wrong with you?

        I WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP.

        I'M A DJ, BITCH. I DONT SLEEP.

        Have you ever thought about .

        What you're gonna be—

        When you die?

        Yeah. I've been thinking about it a lot.

        Okay, what is it.

        I get three right?

        Right, yeah.

        1. A Superstar DJ.

          Okay, that's good. What else?

          1. A rockstar

            Okay, what else?

            1. A mom.

              That's it?

              Yeah, man. I die and gone to heaven, right?

              Right.

              So that's it.

              What's the wager?

              Four horses.

              Got it.

              What exactly brings you here to bargain?

              My fat and heavy nuts.

              No questions asked.

              VO

              I didn't know he called back.

              I didn't even see the message.

              I feel like such a piece of shit.

              I am a piece of shit.

              Worthless.

              My eyes itch,

              My nose bleeds

              My heart hurts now,

              I'm all gone

              Dark on Mondays

              All gone

              Gone till Sunday

              All done

              I was never an good mother

              No

              Just a ghost with a gun

              I was never on top of the world, son

              Just under it

              Now I'm all out of something I can't put my hand on

              And I'm all out of love,

              No one wants me

              Imm washed up

              One hand on the guitar

              One foot in the door

              And one head in the oven

              I'm all done

              I'm all done

              My eye itches

              My nose bleeds

              The noose loosens,

              I fall down

              I'm so stuck on an old number

              I'm so lost that I'm found now.

              —I'm so sorry

              But no one else is

              Tie me to the bed

              And watch me bleed

              So full of disinterest and vinegar

              Remember to tie me to the crossword

              In the times tomorrow

              Four rainbows for your dumb luck

              A forced fuck from one goat

              The other still doesn't row well

              It's a long boat

              It's a long story

              It goes untold

              They all turn to the one who wants to hurt me

              In the long run

              Nobody will ever love me again

              So I'm told

              Might as well find a bottle of ferment

              To grow up in

              Swallow bottles of old wine

              With a sour tongue

              Unremarkable

              SHOUT!

              Defamed you,

              Heroism in the—

              Never hatred, but indifference,

              Circumstances. Circumcisions

              Misdirection,

              Big decisions

              Defense strategy?

              To exit—

              Just as quickly as it all begins to fade away

              Nearly as quickly as it started,

              Newfound freedom near the exit,

              After happenstance,

              Never afraid to admit to neglect

              Selected supplies,

              For fear of the eye

              Goddammit it, late night people

              Of course; when was it last you saw letterman on a surfboard?

              Almost never?

              Forget to fear them,

              The men in mirrors,

              The sharks in surfboards,

              The writer's block, over

              The rockstar on opioids

              Does it hurt anybody else this much to just stand here

              If Tweety's the Canarybird,

              When who am I to call myself a cat,

              Sylvester!

              The silver streaks in his hair,

              The glaze in his eyes

              The break in his heart

              While I forgot about you

              I hope the peanut butter goes with the jelly

              The couch fits with the vision covers

              The cookies go with the coffee haven't mopped the floor yet, of course

              All out of Pablo santo

              For your information

              I just didn't make the grade

              Cause teacher hates me

              I still haven't found a mate

              With every amen

              I hate me

              Almost as much as I hate myself

              And I

              So I can't be

              God itself

              Cause I love that thing

              Alright?

              Amen!

              Can I have a can opener or three to set the record straight

              Can I scratch as fast as I sniff up every tear

              Every line of cocaine

              Every autograph?

              No you can't.

              Just know that my landlord has a thougsand bathrooms

              I can't find my hat, my gun—

              And where the fuck are the bananas

              With CUMSLUTS!

              WHAT THE FUCK, BRO!

              Can you even SAY any of that?!

              I just did!

              Which network do you work for?!

              Where's Fallon at?!

              he's dead, bro!

              He's dead?!

              Yeah!

              For what?!

              I don't know. I just found out.

              Well. What happened.

              Someone shot him.

              Again?!

              Yeah, but like, way worse this time.

              So they finally got him, ah?

              No, he died of a heart attack.

              What!

              Then they shot him.

              What. That doesn't make sense.

              Nothing makes sense.

              This scene is running long.

              I thought so.

              DIRECTOR

              Don't want to give you

              The news, cause you wrote it all

              Causes for dollars

              Indifference, disasters, sons

              Why won't you hold me like you used to?

              Why don't I know the answers to the crosswords?

              Why don't you meet me at the crossroads with your—

              No, no,

              Don't do that

              Don't call it home

              To be continued

              Where were you this morning,

              When I stumbled in

              To love you?

              She said

              At the forefront of your honor's worth

              If all you are's a wordsmith, m

              god unlock you

              Pen and paper

              Gun in holster

              Officer,

              Pull down the trigger

              Don't want to give you

              The news, cause you wrote it all

              Causes for dollars

              Indifference, disasters, sons



              No, no,

              Don't do that

              Don't call it home

              To be continued



              Once upon a time,

              All my eyes were brown

              (The money, the power, the respect)

              Now those days are gone

              The world is still round

              (At least I thought)

              The misery set in again

              They said the lows would come

              I did hate Mondays, after all

              With no sun to come up

              And look forward to

              Fast forward—

              Did you ever see that?

              Well, that is technically the back door.

              I almost forgot about that place.

              That's because it doesn't exist.

              It had to exist. Now I've seen it at least twice

              Hey!

              How'd you do that.

              Christ, he is a magician

              Oh yeah, Cosmos factory.

              They said the lows were coming.

              Maybe I needed them to finish that thing—

              I swear I missed

              Something

              The ghost

              (The other one, anyway)

              Dillon was a ghost, once

              No, ghost was the ghost, but we were

              —close.

              Good friends.

              Imaginary friends.

              Anyway.

              Fuck this nonsense.

              Nonsense, is it

              Just—

              Don't make me slit my wrists again.

              I remembered this day for something

              Wonder what.

              Maybe nothing

              I hate Mondays

              Guess this is the job,

              This is the job,

              I was wondering about the suit.

              So, are you a parrot, a puppet, or a mimick.

              I swear to god that's him.

              Good,

              Now I don't ever have to watch him.

              Oh shit,

              Fuck this playlist

              Are you sure



              “saved by the cowbell”

              God, I feel like shit,

              And I shouldn't be hungry

              But I'm starving inside

              For some loving

              Someone help me

              Somebody, something

              I'm suffering, suffocating

              Need him,

              Reeling,

              Reading

              Sinking,

              Feeling

              —but shouldn't be crying.

              I digress, however

              It was an interesting

              Day to digest

              God, I forgot about this—

              A whole soundtrack

              Jesus Christ,

              Bring it back;

              I like who your wife is

              —would you write that?

              Would you admit to dying on the cross once?

              Would you admit to admiring Ms, Robinson

              Would you wash out the Robin in Williams

              Look at Carson

              I defect to default

              Cracked asfault, to decadence

              Desire or what have you

              I haven't,

              I promise

              I would not admit to wanting,

              Something like a cupcake

              Something else is in there

              Figure it out

              Danger

              The five pointer approaches

              With heroic intolerance

              Suddenly, it's gone, God

              Mustn't be the Republicans,

              For the most part,

              I would want that

              For fear of the liberals,

              And my rent controlled apartment

              I've got two thumbs, too,

              You know

              I've got Jews up my ass for the asking

              I've got mom up my spine for the others

              Fucking assholes

              —so this is what it means to be married to the music, huh

              No one to really hold you,

              But I told you, I've got golden globes and Oscars

              Every morning

              Motorcycles for the morons

              I've got daughters for your doorknobs

              —Know you're sorry now

              Catch the drum pattern

              Your heart should stop fluttering

              With butter on it

              Weren't we all once prostitutes

              In foster care

              The others wouldn't dare

              To call a fountain out

              For the fountains—

              Busy training you

              Safe to say a savior says

              I do,

              And then doesn't

              For the most part

              I'm a woman

              With the wants

              And the body of a

              God

              FUCKING WATCH IT, CARSON

              but you got that all on a card, love.

              All on a card, fuck.

              What was your wish,

              You dumb motherfucker?

              Look what I got the other ones.

              Hi Cosmo.

              Hi Wanda.

              Awww. I love them.

              Dead drunk by tomorrow

              I hope,

              I choke on sunsets.

              He keeps taking you away someplace,

              Where is it?

              Does nobody else know this place?

              No. Nobody else can see this!

              Well, that's fucked up.

              I had a dream I was at your wake.

              That would be great.

              I wrote a scene where your obituary just said

              “lol”

              “lol”

              What! That's it?!

              Yeah.

              And It's not even capitalized!

              That's it,

              I've had enough.

              Throw the whole world away.

              What.

              just throw it away.

              Damn dog,

              You okay?

              No. I'm homeless.

              That's okay.

              You smell like a whole ass alien.

              What?

              Come to my place.

              I figured this would have more depth.

              I—

              Nevermind.

              It is, like torture, you know— this thing.

              I didn't do it on purpose.

              get oFF of me.

              getawayfromme.

              Okay, I'm taking my bread out of the freezer.

              You sure are eating a lot today .

              You sure are sounding like a pain in my big, fat, ass.

              I—

              That ought to shut you up.

              Look! CUMSLUTS!

              NICE.

              Get off of my boat.

              What.

              Aye-aye, captain.

              (Duck dives)

              Wait. What just happened?

              Mi think I might have—

              Great,

              Now there are things about this—

              I can't even write.

              This secret dies with me.

              Kill that bitch.

              Fucking great.

              So,

              Where were you on 9/11 again?

              I'll deal with this later.

              I gotta go.

              Wait, where are you going?

              Fuck you, that's where.

              Wait!

              If you saw me hanging from the rafters

              Would you ahoot to kill

              Or come to shoot me down?

              At long last,

              Disaster

              Are there tears in your denial

              As the memorandum sets in?

              Neither there or neither farther am I

              Father,

              Can you call again?

              I haven't heard you yet

              Besides the heart drops

              When the beat falls out

              If I hang myself

              Like pendulum

              From the old bank walls

              Would you watch me swing

              Or come to cut me down

              Don't doubt the alter

              If it were the birds

              Coming for the crumbs

              Would you ponder any longer

              Whether they were all of one feather

              Come now

              Don't doubt the alter

              Don't fear the weapons

              Don't worry, mother

              I'm coming to kill you

              Uh, I'm gonna wait on dinner.

              FUCK,

              What the fuck was I saying?

              FUCK.

              I hate this dude.

              FUCK.

              Come on, you stupid —biiitch!

              I hate this dragon.

              Almost as much as I hate—

              You know what?

              What?

              Forget it. I'm not doing this.

              What why not!?

              I'm gonna get killed for this.

              You're in the Illuminati; you're gonna get killed anyway.

              Yeah, but not for this!

              Let's hope!

              Who know, though!

              UGH; SHUT UP.



              GET IN HERE.

              I hate the sound of your name

              Like an unheard whisper

              Unanswered

              I could never call to

              A cavern

              Righteous,

              Unwanted

              What was is, though.

              Something about a wheelbarrow'

              I just went surfing

              Hit the surface from underwater

              Shook out the slumber

              What was it worth, God?

              What were the words for?

              Fuck,

              A shapeshifter and a telepath?

              How many people have that?

              Not that many.

              How many people know about this?

              Enough.

              FUCK.

              Oh, look whose swearing.

              I solemnly swear—

              Don't tell NOBODY.

              I ain't telling nobody about this.

              Good.

              Now get out.

              I'm gonna kill this sonofabitch.

              SON OF A—BITCH.

              That's it. Kill him.

              Where's my gun?

              Did you check the fridge?

              No.

              [THE IMPENETRABLE TEN ENTER the KITCHEN]

              Her?

              Him?

              I don't know.

              What is it?

              It's a pilot!

              Oh shit, should I shoot him?

              Not a helicopter pilot!

              A TV pilot,

              For what?!

              Tv is dead.

              Streaming is where its out,

              It's for me!

              What!

              Let me see.

              They'll throw me to the curb

              Leave in in the road

              Like the animal I am

              You don't know what the world does

              When she's off work

              You don't know how the world acts

              When she's off her axis

              It's okay to take hiatus

              Instead of medication

              It's okay to call the cops on motorcycle

              It's okay to die

              Before you see your son

              When Sunday comes

              Just call your mom on Monday

              Doctor visits

              EMTs and emergencies

              Epics and Epochs

              Long lost love songs to god

              And Cardinal Directions

              Reflections in mirrors

              Table toppers for all the dramas

              All the months you lost

              On muttered mantras
