Seedz of joy grow magnolia flowers yall mistake as my teeth.
Smile centered,
Anatomy diagonal to the dirt.
Sun spits rays,
Faster goes the merry-go-round.
Weird and strange.
My eyes wrinkle,
Cheeks become parentheses
With as much royalty as Rameses.

LAUREN OPINIONS
Something special in writing a book,
story or song,
to sustain the thought long enough
to feel and to meddle
with the possibility
soaking in the emotion
b/c mine are so passing, ephermal, and forgettable.
Getting my mind to stay in gear:
a great feat
-seeing as how I desire to be
planning out my career
Right Now.
Need to let myself stop feeling the need
to (get)
caught up.
And let old promise,
commitments, whatever
fly off with new wings
to see new life
as from this day forward.
The need to share ideas like water
in streams flows free.
Sleep is slipping her hands
around my waist and pulling me close to her.
I done spent the better part of the day
on a Scandal marathon with good food and catnaps:
unhaunted by tasks or to-do-lists,
a Saturday to just be.
Be flooded with a differing life pace and be sucked into a visual storybook.
When in his company 3-D is a place that’s calling my name over miles. I
love you.
I want the world so bad, friction is sandpaper on silk.
Oh my gawd, I’m finna fall out! Two of my favorites, what!! The video opens very idyllically, with the full treetops. AND then, enter James Blake, whiskey sweet songstress (yes a man can be a songstress), thrown over a simple piano rhythm. WICKED!
Driving a droptop in the rain (reminiscent of the Outkast “Bombs over Baghdad” lyric where Dre says “Weatherman tellin’ us It ain’t goin’ rain/So now we sittin in a droptop, Soakin wet /In a silk suit trying not to sweat”).
shift:
the beat drops and Chance and James penetrate into the “urban” world, complete with twerkers who remind of Biggie Smalls from Pootie Tang, an old White guy smacking the hell outta of youngin for God knows what. Here, Chance go with that crispy flow. Shoutout to his Chicago Leaders New Era/9Fifty snapback (http://www.leaders1354.com/). An interracial couple with one cougar. A black elder and white nun. A white farmer and his Black Stallion. Three tribal rebels (looking East African), patterned rags masking their mouths, YUP in they white tees.
Basically, the visuals are somehow diametrically opposed to “normal” neighborhood interactions. One, the video itself is in black and white, the combinations/pairs you see are black and white. Fresh as hell.
