over and under

[constantine]

hi! i'm from seedyville
and hang out at the circle k
two chili dogs for a buck
cheese, onion, jalapeno, mustard...
and an 84 oz. big burp (w/refills)
two bucks - total
that's living large, sonny!
if you hang there
if you are a regular
you can get anything
it's like a nexus
a gravitational k-hole
an entrepôt for consumers
of every ilk and persuasion
got heroin? sure thing
fix-a-flat, coffee filters, suzy too!
and the damn thing is -
it's always been that way
you'd never fucking know
if you didn't fucking know it
it's not like they advertise
it's not like it's in the hood
the whole damn world is a hood
no matter what the tv tells you
it's a hood of the mind
it's a sweet dream gone sour
a chili cheese coney on the cheap
that you're happy to write home about
because you think you got over
but you're not getting over
you're just getting under

Good strong capture of a poem.

talk about it talk about it talk about it - the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor & it still gets talked about to this day - that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Hell yeah, Mongolia!

[constantine]

if there is hope, and i'm not saying that there is, it lies with the mongolians. onward to the anvil of god!

we squabble over the crumbs and fight their wars to make 'em even more obscenely rich, and they throw us in jail for smoking a little herb . . .

tough to get over on that system ...
