Today's poem Is part 2 of 2 favorite poems of mine.
Day 23:YES I'M TALKING TO YOU Part 2
Yes, I'm talking to you.
I hear your brags,
and I see your name-brand rags.
You're obviously money obsessed,
but I'm not impressed.
Yes, I'm talking to you.
It's clear to me, you're a serious dude.
I can hear your attitude.
I have absolutely no doubt that you can take me out.
But yes, I'm talking to you.
I know you never raise your voice.
Weapons are your words of choice...
a gun, machete, your fist, a knife, or one of your "dawgs" could take my life.
But-yes, I'm talking to you.
I'm taking the risk because it's possible that I am partially responsible.
might have missed the beat
that could have kept you off the street.
Maybe you needed a different interaction,
and I was present but missing in action.
I don't know what has occurred.
I know I spoke, but who knows what
So, yes, I'm talking to you. you heard?
Yes, I'm talking to you.
But I don't know what to say.
Can we talk?
