Long time no see. I am currently dancing in the streets as the Statue Of Liberty in the number one dance, drama T.V. show in the cities of Marathon and Key West. I used to live at Tracy's Pet Service in Marathon until the rent and drama went up. Now I am back in the woods, streets, mangroves, whatever the hell you wish to call it. Funny enough, my new home is next to the Home Depot inbetween the American Legion, a place I practically grew up in as a kid. I really don't mind sleeping outside. There are only 3 things I wish would go away. Cops, mosquitoes and rain. It's a bitch to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning with a sudden downpour of rain, even though I probably do need a shower, it sucks waking up to raindrops. But I have come prepared. I bought a 5 dollar 60" umbrella that I purchased at, guess where?, at HOME DEPOT!!! Who says I don't pay taxes? The cops have yet to approach me at my unhumble abode without a roof, T.G., that means thank God, for you ignorant M.F's, which means MotherFuckers. Damn, do I have to spell everything out as I try to write short hand! I'm trying to save time and keystrokes. But like I always say, life is simple, people make it difficult, anywho, where was I?....Oh yeah, explaining life sleeping outside, the relentless mosquitoes are, well, relentless and determined to suck your blood like Dracula. No matter what time of day of night but especially after the rain that just woke you up and now you can't go back to sleep. Now you, M.F's (see above for definition) know why I drink. I was sleeping at the public defenders' office in Key West for about 6 months without interaction with cops until the other night when a nice lady cop ran my I.D. and took my picture and told me to leave. So that secret spot is secret no more. She said she patrols it 3 or 4 times a night. So now I am currently working as the Statue of Liberty in Key West because my fellow co-worker in the same crown and gown as for his paycheck early and my nice boss gave it him with a warning. If he went up to Marathon and didn't show up the next day, he would be fired. Apparently, not heeding the warning, he did just that and subsequently was fired the next day. So my boss wanted me to fill in Key West for 2 weeks until he found somebody else. So I have to commute an hour and a half on the bus from Marathon to Key West. Which is fine with me, I love traveling, although I rather see a different road. I get a discount on the 4 dollar fare to 2 dollars because I am homeless, uh, residentially challenged, to speak politically correct but I don't follow politics. It's actually not as bad as one would perceive. As long as you can escape the above mentioned nuisances....O.K., I am tired of typing on my only day off. Of course, I have much more to say and explain but I just don't have the time today....until then enjoy my latest thoughts put into a poem, I call lyrics to a song....P.S. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have given me and to the music that keeps me alive everyday...I Love You...until my dying day!!! XO
Underneath the pine trees
Is the place I sleep
Under the stars
They keep me warm
From the winter breeze
Shelter me
From the sun
Guide me back
To a brighter day
The best thing
You could not see
Through your materialistic eyes
The best part is
It's all for free
It brings tears to my eyes
That
You can't see
The beauty before me
In a hurry
To make money
As I think it
Isn't everything
You miss the point
In life
You only live once
Too late
To start over again
Enjoy and hold on to
What you once had
Never to return
Escape the cop chase
At the wrong place and time
In between
The donut shop
And coffee break
To live free for another day
Trying to live my life
Free of charge
Hang on
To my mind
I own
Free and clear
Cloudy
With a couple of beers
A 20% chance of showers
Wait for the thunderstorm to happen
The hurricane is coming
Without a word
Or warning
Brace yourself
For the magic to appear
Before your eyes
Beyond disbelief
Call me David Copperfield for short
Not my fault
Things didn't work out
The way I thought
All I can say
Is that I tried
To live a dream
Apparently not meant to be
So sad to see
I hate to say
You wish you were me
Do what I can
Before I get
To Heaven
To see my family
Once again
Left me alone
Too soon
I know they love me
Looking down
From up
Above
I will keep
Moving on
Trying to do
The best I can
Make my family proud
With what I have left
Hide behind memories
Left behind
Good times
But the stars still
Shine bright
Undercover me
Into a peaceful night
I love my brother
From a different father
But we share
The same mother
Who left too soon
From pancreatic cancer
Ironically,
He is a cancer doctor today
That took years
I couldn't believe
He was still in his
Residency
After the day I
Graduated high school
He believed
In all my dreams
Opened minded
Accepted the thought
I wanted to be a rockstar
He supported me
More times than once
Gave me a chance
To see California
When I didn't have
A dime to pay
To realize my dream
Every Time
I wanted to
Go for the impossible dream
He did his homework
And became
A Professor of oncology
I look up to him
Almost more than God
As I sleep in the streets alone
If you don't know now
I am the black sheep
Of the family
But brother still keeps
A special place
In my heart
Like our mother
Told me once
I love him
More than life
Itself
Said goodbye
Many more times
Once before
I pray for my friends
And family
I can never see again
Until I reach
The heavens above
Thank you Lord
For the words
I could never make up
Without you
Reflecting on past mistakes
I should of stayed in school
But my stubborn head
Thought I had a chance
To make it
I tried
With my brother
By my side
The only family member
I have left
If he goes away
Before I say goodbye
That would be
The end of my life
Die by the gun
Just like
My father done
Never to return
A promise
Never to break
Silence me
Underneath the grave
Unfortunately
We all die one day
I say
And dream
For a family reunion
One day
Don't mine me
Just writing a song
At a bus stop
That won't stop
The only shelter I got
When it rains
I think better
On the toilet
At McDonald's
Until they catch me
So known
They call me
The hamburg alar
On the phone
Without an answer
Thank the Lord
They have
3 more hours
Before they close
Have a chance
To find the mind
Of crazy Larry
Let loose from
The jailhouse
A couple a days
Ago
It's a mystery
You never know
What you might find
Your guess
Is as good
As mine
I live alone
In the woods
Call me up
Sometime
I answer my phone
Every once in awhile
They will only keep me down
For a little bit
Then I will rise
Above
To see another sunrise
And move on
To a better life
They cannot predict
The future I hold
In my hands
They can say
What they may
But I will prove them wrong
To their dismay
They wrote me off
But I am still writing
My book
So they can see
Where my life went
The story already
Written in stone
Yet to be told
But in time
They will know
The tough road
I went down
But God gave me the strength
To move on
Most
Couldn't handle
Not to toot
My own horn
But this is
The life I live
Take it or
Leave it
I never will
Until
The day I die
I have to live
The life my parents
Gave me
Take it as a gift
Before I am on my way
To Heaven
Have to go through Hell
Before you reach
The promise land
Filled with broken dreams
Wake up to nightmares
To see
The reason
Why you are here
There is a meaning
For taking space
Still searching
But I believe
I will find out soon
When the time is right
Not a minute before
Give it to
The hands of God
He is the one
To give
And take away
Just a test
To see
If you can pass
Without pity
All you have to do
Is try
Your best
He will fill
In the blanks
And do
The rest
Hang on
Without a noose
Around your neck
He will take you
When He's ready
Only He knows
When the time is right
Not in control
You never know
Faith and belief
In Him
Is all you need
In this world
I don't need to go
To church
To hear His word
O.K
I live in the woods
That's alright
It's just
The cops, rain and the mosquitoes
That bug me
In the middle
Of a good nights' sleep
That wake me up
From a dream
I thought I had
To keep
Looking for a break
In the middle
Of the road
To make it through
The other side
To see my escape
Just trying
To make it to a better day
Than the one before
Forget the nightmares
That haunt me
Every waking moment
Run away
As quickly
As possible
Before they
Catch the dream
I thought
I had
In the grasp
Of my hand
Run as fast as I can
Rampant
From
The other people
That don't believe
Scare me away
From
My belief
That I know is true
Never let go
Until they
Take me away
Put me under 6 feet
In the grave
Kicking until
My dying day
I know you
Only live once
Without a consideration
Of reincarnation
Seems
Far fetched
To me
Comeback
As a female
Bicycle seat
Or a bird
With wings
Jumping
Up and down
On a trampoline
Without gasoline
Don't worry about me
You have your life to live
Your own problems
To deal with
I only have solutions
That fall upon
Deaf ears
Never to be discovered
They can't handle
The truth
Uncovered
But what do I know
They already
Know it all
Just a waste
Of breath and time
Sit alone
Alright
By myself
But I do
Still believe
In a God
Above
Always by my side
One chance
Is all you have
To live
At least
That's what
They tell me
I've seen
First hand
Proof of it
Can't tell me
Different
Just another human
Being
Living on the streets
Protected
By my way
Of thinking
Just another animal
Living in the concrete jungle
But I already
Thought about
The baffling
Thought process
Still with questions
I can't answer
I never said
I was a know it all
Sometimes
I do
But the fact remains
It's not the truth
Can't relate
To the people
Who can't dance
With fancy shoes
They seem so sure
But it just seems
They just sit
Spinning their wheels
Have to go through
The bullshit
Sift through
The assholes
To get to
The truth
Sure it's a hard road
But worth every minute
At the end of the line
If I didn't have those
Special moments
I would be
Taking up space
Just like them
A place
I don't think I
want to be
They think
The grass is always
Greener
On the other side
Of somebody else's
Backyard
But they haven't seen
My front porch
In the daylight
Observe
The magic moments
I wish I could
Explain
Insight from Crazy Larry
Who lost his family
In a tragedy
The only good thing is
He now qualifies
For Medicaid
With special attention
Benefits
Just waiting to die
To live a happier life
Remembering
The good times
That they can't
Take away
Hanging on a thread
With what little
Dignity
There is left
To salvage
From the scrap yard
Throw down
For a fight
Been beaten down
For the last time
No more shit
To be taken
Heard it all before
From here to
Timbuktu
Give me another line
To write down
When I win the academy award
I would like to thank
All the assholes
In my way
To carry on
To fight until
My last breath
I couldn't do it
Without them
Must have friction
To start a fire
To go down
In a blaze of glory
Boy God
Do I have a story
To tell you
When I get
To where I'm going
I know you
Already know
But it will be better
If I tell you in person
I'll be here
Writing a song
When you're ready to take me
But can you wait until
I write a worldwide hit
So I can live
The rest of my life
In peace
P.S.
Love you too
See you soon
Your favorite son
Who will rise to the top
To show the reason
I was put on Earth
Never to return
For the last time
They don't know what they got
Until I'm gone
They will wish
They could kiss
What they no longer have
Maybe they will listen
Next time
That will never happen
Again
Never take for granted
The gift
You have been given
From the Lord above
Time to go
To give back
To the living
Can't take
The material things
When you leave this world
Give it to somebody else
Who has nothing
Not even a pot
To piss in
Or a without window
To throw it out of
I hope
One day
You see
The true meaning of life
Before you die
And go away forever
Never to return
Take it as a message
From God
Your maker and taker
When it is
Your time
He is the only one
Who decides
Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight. Remember, God told me to tell you this, have a great time in life, no matter the cost or price.
