Sitting in an oxygen deprived choked position
cramped next to someone who needs two
extra stops to have time to get up

sitting here wondering if
Love can get down to sounds of
mass transit

exhaust spitting carcinogens into sun dipped days
hazing us into it's existence like military officers who
puncture skin with pins of honor(?)

our lungs are scarred

"Yo, I need a transfer" some "i ned attention"
young...cat professes to the stir of no one /
but//love notices that "condition" has scrawled
a scowl across his face
can't erase the feeling of being "dis" placed
into a pigeon hole of sparrow ****

all this and i wonder if Love can get
down with mass transit

or does it need a double overhead cam
turbo charged cherry apple red beauty
that in 4.2 seconds can go from zero to sixty

to breathe

i figure love may get scarred by too many
stories best reserved for late night talk
insight into dysfunctional lives for ratings

...it didn't ask to hear about the bar B Que
that ****** received when he got out
of jail..a **** reception for a rapist..or the Negro
who 'smacked a *****" cause she questioned a
questionable manhood...or a hood who's lost in the hood
even though he knows...what corner to hang on
while his mind hangs from a tree

love's been staring me in the face
with questions i can't answer
but if love took residence within me
i wonder if it could outlast this race...or do i need to be
in a double overhead cam
turbo charged
cherry apple red beauty
that in 4.2 seconds goes from zero to sixty
