i live in TushKauLoosa Ali Baba or Tuscaloosa, Ala
Occupation
construction
Ring the alarm! up at about 6:66
Went to bed at about 9:99

Gotta start my day off now
Slip on my robe warm up the stove

fix an early mornin' cup o' tea
No Earl Grey I got that Green Leaf

I drink it before I brush my teeth
with my no-fluoride paste

then I wash my crusty face
It's gettin' late so I take a bird bath

Sing a song and I splash!
while the squirrels laugh

The bees and the birds pass
I get dressed in all black
button up shirt creased slacks

i got incense, oils, kufis, hats
books, movies, jewelry, no crack

after 3 hours of moving my stock
i'm off the block
headed to my part-time job

I'm hard at work at a construction site
until I see no sunlight

hammering, drilling, posting
hoping my check is right
time for night school two classes a night

until I get a degree or even a certificate
I call them "slave papers" legitimate

I plan on being a physician or a mustashafee
and mastering my own language

Sometimes I get alone
hearing echoes in my home

Every now and then I date
but, it's hard to find the right mate

I'm getting older on the outside
and on the inside i'm a child
runnin' wild like a juvenile barely 19
I've seen a lot but, not all I see

and even as i type these things
Time waits for no man
well, will time wait for me
