Text of the page (random words):
s my inspiration it went like this i had a writing assignment due and i was not having a great deal of luck sure lost unrequited love is always a safe choice but that s been done a time or two right so i took out my trusty thesaurus opened to a random page closed my eyes pointed to a word and used said word to write a line in my poem i did this 20 25 times until i had a coherent albeit surreal poem in other words i made something out of nothing which i thought and still think was extremely clever i mean let s be honest any tosser can write about a broken heart but taking 25 unrelated random words and turning them into a poem no that ain t easy carmen that was her name although unsettled by my disregard for the convention gave me an a because the truth was and remains the poem was damn good ah but bob bob was distraught offended outraged the crux of the biscuit is if it entertains you fine enjoy it if it doesn t then blow it out your ass i do it to amuse myself frank zappa a few weeks ago i was cleaning out my closet and i came across a box filled with old papers quick digression while attending hanover college 1992 1993 one of my closest friends was african actually he s still african and he said to me one day i ll paraphrase as we were under the influence of some nice german beer at the time you know the behavior that truly makes americans such a strange species it s the fact that you re the only animal on earth actively engaged in collecting stuff you fill drawers closets rooms garages with junk you re so obsessed with stuff you re willing to pay a monthly fee for someone else to store it for you when you run out of space in your homes i don t think you understand how bizarre this behavior is to the rest of the world in africa if an item doesn t have a practical use like a bowl for example it s garbage simple holding onto something because it has sentimental value or because 25 years from now i may need it makes no sense we don t have shelves for knick knacks or junk drawers you americans are fucked in the head around this same time george carlin did a bit on americans and their stuff anyway as i m going through my box of junk i happen to discover of all things bob s poem took me back not just to that class but back to my early 20 s a time if i had time in a bottle i d love to re visit alas so not being able to time travel literally i decided to do so figuratively as i read the words i imagined bob s smug face haloed by that cheesy white boy afro i am a poet you write with dictionary in hand ha what a bunch of nonsense in the end the joke was on bob because as he read each sneering word i was oblivious to the fact his poem was an intended jab at me in fact if not for my friend jennifer i d remain oblivious to this very day why should i be upset i responded bob s poem was about you the dictionary get it dictionary what does that have to do with me you used a thesaurus for your poem last week remember yeah i remember a thesaurus not a dictionary are you fucking with me she asked exasperated truth be told i wasn t fucking with her i m just not a fan of poetry at least not a fan of reading poetry i find it opaque and pretentious as a result i generally skim through unless i find a particularly interesting line or passage otherwise ten minutes later i don t remember a bloody thing this was especially true with bob i d read his poems make some inane comment great job super duper didn t e e cummings write this poem in 1933 your girlfriend is a child bob does her father know you re 24 and after four years in college still an undeclared sophomore and move on with my day ha what a bunch of nonsense but now some 20 years later i find myself not only reading bob s dis but responding although not as i nor he i m sure anticipated if we were rappers i imagine my street cred would have evaporated long ago thankfully i never went into the rap game although according to my second grade teacher there s no reason i couldn t strapped with a gat when i m walking through compton easy e when i lived in st louis i spent my days in the company of gangsters not exactly what republican mom imagined for her only son i m sure but one of the risks you take when you tell your child he can do anything he wants is he may actually try so after spending two years in florida working as a counselor with at risk youth did i mention i worked as a counselor yep did that for about six years i moved westward and in short time found myself in st louis playing spades with car thieves drug dealers and drive by shooters hoping beyond hope that at age 27 i could teach a group of young mostly black males from the inner city something anything to keep them out of prison and alive ha what a bunch of nonsense fast forwarding to the end truth be told it was they who taught me i learned how to dis crips crabs and bloods slobs i learned guns were burners and that it s not uncommon for crack addicts cluckers to temporarily trade their cars for crack if they re short on scrilla cash it also wasn t uncommon for a crackhead to awake from their stupor find their car missing and call the police to report it stolen but mostly what i learned during that year and a half is that the world even in the land of milk and honey for too many people is a place where surviving moment to moment is pretty much all one can hope one of the more unforgettable kids among many was desmond des loc funny i say kid but by the time i met des he d already at 15 experienced too much desmond was a rolling sixties crip rsc with a fairly extensive arrest record in fact it was des penchant for getting arrested that brought him to our program you see desmond was caught riding in a stolen car apparently a clucker who traded one of des friends a drug dealer and rsc his car for some crack cocaine called the police because des friend kept the car for three days instead of returning it after 12 hours as was initially agreed you d be surprised how with it crack addicts can be when it suits them of course des had nothing to do with it and didn t know the car belonged to someone else he was just along for the ride the problem was des had already been arrested on two other occasions for you guessed it being in a stolen car i told him because of his bad luck with cars maybe he should consider walking or riding the bus he laughed shook his head and said mugs ain t never right translation fuck you when he was 9 desmond s father was sentenced to 20 years in prison whether it was gang related or not i m not sure as des rarely spoke of his father he did tell me he hadn t visited his father in years because he didn t like going to the prison what i do know is at least three of des family members also belonged to the rolling 60 s so there was definitely a familial connection to the street gang the only time i saw desmond s mother was the day he arrived from detention she dropped off his clothes after that i only spoke to her three or four times during his 60 days in our program always on the phone she seemed a nice woman and was the only one i ever saw arouse fear in desmond she worked second shift at a factory 12 hours and like most single parents did the best she could for her family unfortunately working second shift meant she slept during the day as a result des lived unsupervised bad neighborhood or not idle teenage hands are the devil s playthings to compound matters two years after his father was imprisoned desmond severely scalded the left side of his face and shoulder pushing his youngest brother out from under a pot of boiling water he pulled down from the stove top again des offered little information other than saying he spent several weeks in the hospital and that he had several skin graft surgeries i remember attempting to put a positive spin on his disfigurement telling him how admirable his actions were but i don t think it registered all des knew was his face and shoulder were badly scarred and he was a teenager gangsta or otherwise kids are cruel desmond got in a lot of fights i can make more than that in a day selling drugs i know it won t last and that i ll eventually end up dead or in prison but i m willing to take that risk because right now i can buy my little brother what he wants and i can help my mom pay the bills the truth is i just don t give a fuck the last conversation i ever had with desmond was the day he was released from our program after his second go round although i was no longer working in the drug program i cleared my schedule and volunteered to drive des home i m not sure why other than to say i liked des because at that point i d only seen desmond a couple times in the last year during his second stint i was working in the youth psychiatric department and although i tried to visit i could never find the time not that i think it would have made any difference he was much harder then when we d originally met his face chiseled beyond his 16 years and he didn t seem to smile much anymore his caseworker who also knew des from his first time through said he was a completely different person or he d simply dropped the act and was letting us see the real des the des who carried a gun and sold drugs and rode in stolen cars the des who learned to survive by hustling i must admit it was somewhat of a blow to my ego when i realized des had more than likely gamed us his first time through the program you see despite growing up on different planets i really believed desmond and i connected just as in the real world when you work as a counselor there are always clients people you like better than others and des was one of my favorites i used to joke with my girlfriend that if they d let me i d adopt desmond and send him to a private college far away from rolling sixties crips and tree top pirus des was smart which was why i liked him he had potential sounds crazy right a gangster with potential but it s true they re really once you get passed the persona just kids sure some of them are sociopaths but so are some of you ha what a bunch of nonsense on the way to his house desmond asked if i d stop at a gas station so he could buy some cigarettes i agreed and even offered to pay newports des and some of the other kids used to tease me because i smoked newports why you smoke newports mr d you should be smoking marlboros marlboros those nasty things fuck that i told you my mom smoked kool milds and when i started smoking i d steal cigarettes from her i got used to the menthol can t stand marlboros those are white people cigarettes they d laugh and tell me i was crazy so here we were des and i one of the most deadly tandems in spades you d ever want to meet we be smashin mugs sharing a last cigarette as if headed to an execution the entire ride i tried to think of something something inspiring i know in hindsight i was being ridiculous but desmond more than most had a chance if only there was a way to spark him but my mind was blank finally i said something like you could go to college des that s no shit you re smart naturally so you need to get your ass of the bricks and back into school get a job you re wasting time time you ll never get back he looked at me with disdain in his eye man fuck that job shit i had a job i worked two weeks and they paid me 200 fuck that cuz that s some straight up bullshit the rest of the ride we sat in silence des played with the radio and in my head i silently agreed with his assessment jobs suck as we pulled up to his house he almost had the door open before we d stopped take it easy mr d he said leaning against the door in the set position you too des be careful out there at least think about what i said you know you can call us any time doesn t matter if you re in the program or not we d love to know how you re doing at least i know i would cool well later later desmond we shook hands he got out closed the door ran to up the steps and into his house i never saw desmond again kill or be killed was what the scribbled tattoo on his forearm said this is the united states of america talk about bullshit there is no such thing as a dirty word nor is there a word so powerful that it s going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it frank zappa i realize we ve reached the point in the story where i m supposed to fit all this nonsense together and leave you the reader with a nice neat conclusion unfortunately i cannot because that s not how life works and this is a story of my life or at least pieces of it i m working through it just as you are and as of yet i have no conclusion nor am i certain how these seemingly random events are linked i just know they are i can tell you i began this essay if that s what it is in response to not only bob but to all the critics of the world those people who say don t do that or don t do this for no other reason than that s the way it s supposed to be people who tell us we can t use certain words or inform us with little frowny faces on our papers that we re breaking the rules you know fascists but that is hardly sufficient and isn t even remotely close sure i m oppositional i ll use a word just because i know it will make you uncomfortable hell your world of convention makes me uncomfortable damn near every day won t kill you to taste a little of your own it s good for you to read hear experience what makes you feel oogly inside if nothing else it builds character however again that s only a sliver of the truth i m not that superficial well not always i guess desmond s story offers perspective in relation to the absurdity of bob and to some extent carmen fretting over what constitutes real poetry i mean what a sanctimonious twat he was but i don t want to cheapen desmond s story by comparing him to a sanctimonious twat such as bob desmond s story is real and whether we like it or not there are thousands of desmonds out there it is both comical and tragic the wealthiest most powerful nation in human history has gangsters running its streets slanging drugs shooting each other dying for no goddamn reason other than people are busy obsessing over janet jackson s nipple or real poetry because those things are more palatable right shooting abc or cbs a nasty email takes five minutes and more importantly you can do it anonymously confronting poverty gangs violence shit now you re talking about a commitment about putting in work as they say on the bricks who has the time for that true grit is opening this weekend and i already promised the wife and kids we d go john wayne was a real american you know alcoholic racist misogynistic a man s man besides poor people don t have to live that way they can always get a better job and move right whenever i think of bob and the other drive by censors i ve encountered in my life i m reminded of a colonel kurtz s words from the final scene in apocalypse now we train young men to drop fire on people but their commanders won t allow them to write fuck on their airplanes because it s obscene ...
