Down To the Last Roach

Folder: 
Comedy Theater

2002.



afternoon dew surrenders

to sunset skies

as a cypher of four

settles coherently

through the act of peace and mind elevation

a.k.a. bullshittin

about common guy talk

who'll knock out who in tonight's

Tyson-Lewis fight

which deceased rapper is the best?

which celebrity can get it

in the sack-

under ominous clouds of blunt smoke

Irv, the wanna-be frontman of the crew

strong arms the session

by hittin the blunt first

I wait my turn.

Ra, the conservative thinker

strengthened my focus

on political shit and agriculture

and what the CDC is planning

to rape cancer's chances of

terminating human cells

maybe the mary jane could do wonders

on American soil

"That good 'ol seedless potent hydro"

"Feel dat shit, get high, yo!"

Mecca is the straight drinker

who wouldn't dare touch weed.....

until tonight

why put that man to a challenge

he can't live up to?

when some knock off malt liquor

has tendencies

to fuck his mind up much quicker

one puff, two puff.....

Irv takes it back......

to possibly re-inforce his

generic swagger and bravado

Ra discusses a shellshocked deal

between his favorite team opposed to heated rivals

as he takes a hit...

I wait my turn.

A man can lose himself in the midst

of discussion without discussing

anything at this point

3rd round: it's boring as fuck

I get a call from Stephanie on the cell

convo runs practically for 2 more rounds....

Irv's voice is loud enough shake up

half the Bronx

as Mecca shows suspicions of a virgin smoker

laughing at absolutely nothing

I STILL wait my turn.

"Yo, lemme call you back"......

was said as I journey to that back room

with a half conscious Mike Tyson laid out on the mat

and half baked kats stretched out on the bed

with jeers and sneers that killed

any topic that was even thought about

and when the smoke cleared.....

Irv strikes the nerve to say,

"Finish this, yo".........



YOU SAVED THE LAST ROACH FOR ME??!!WTF??!!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I guess the moral of the story could mean it wasn't meant for me to smoke. LOL.
