WE SCRAMBLE AND GRIND

As curated by,

It’s been a lot of life lately. 

This was supposed to be a Moments on Monday poem but we’re a small team and we scramble and grind to make this thing grow so now it’s an LFE. lolThe Shoulder ChipIn the chamber of equations is where half of my mind will forever sitWeighing the differences and equalities for no reason other than contemplationIn the room of the hopeless painter is where my other half lives Its a space I would never wish on any soul, it’s too powerful to give.

The Shoulder Chip

In the chamber of equations is where half of my mind will forever sit
Weighing the differences and equalities for no reason other than contemplation
In the room of the hopeless painter is where my other half lives
Its a space I would never wish on any soul, it’s too powerful to give.

I’ve nothing to share but solace.
Either way, it’s a road map not a gift. It all has to be earned way after it is learned.
And when you least expect it, the world will work its way into your line of sight and take it.
Strip you of your view and build a new gobstopper for you to chew.

To be a friend to nothingness is what they seem to call meditation
The only friend I have is the non-mathematical artistic equation.
Mental solar eclipses happening regularly which amount to soulful identity
But a cat like me writes poem for the people not for my sole identity.
That’s probably my greatest weakness
I’ll always show the last portion of me as nobility
Even if denying my greatness
Not a boasting statement
Just a battle with the chip on my shoulder.

Go call your Mom.

WHAT IM ROCKIN' LATELY

What I'm into lately

Running and lifting and jump roping and interior design and it’s also just always a bad day to be Guinness if you’re in the room with me.

What I'm listening to

Local Jazz Station 88.3

I’m a dad, 88.3 is entertaining for the whole family plus it reminds me of my childhood.

Yo, 88.3, can we please do a collab? Pretty please!
