[Place hand held recorder in front of camera on the floor. With enough room to see the feet in the background. Let it play.]
LIGHTS FADE UP FOR 10. GRAND THEFT AUTO HAPPENS.
First ah's.
Second ah's.
[Go to the boom box linked to the microphone plugged to the portable kareoke maching getting power from the square grey power strip routing juice from the orange extension cord that runs under the audience.]
(Play Carpenter's Piece by Sonic Youth, buy George Maciunas, and goodbye 20th Century.)
Third ah's...cross up to center.
Fourth melodic and longest ah's.
Nothing
(The tape the cd the tv and the player are playing.)
God, that needs to be bigger.
Nothing (Tap)
with three keys
plastic before me
waiting for me
to write high tek hall mark rhymes
sitting in any position you want
with
Nothing (Tap)
but my smellum
worth more
than my bloood
on the corner
of
Nothing (Tap)
to swear at or throw at
the painful bump in my armpit
Nothi (T
Cancer!
Nothing (Tap)
is a bad thing that way
Nothing (Tap)
but the plastic three keys
Nothing (Tap)
Horrible empty unhungry still
I fucked your sister
you gave me ten dollars
while those squatters made me
drink wine lightning fast
with
Nothing (Tap)
When I sit and listen to the beat
(Pause.)
My heart labors against my past
Nothing (Tap)
but regret woven into a legend
that guy was so fuckin
crazy rude angry fucked up a dick head
I am skinny and lie
about
Nothing (Tap)
I've done to so many
has made the made the world a better place
with
Nothing (Tap)
They won't buy the blood THIS TIME
There was no juice THIS TIME
So put on yo' hip hop jump suit and vote
Nothing (Tap)
ova rand over and over ragain.
(Sung) Like a pop song with the lyrics left unheard
(Pause)
This is my job. (Take a snap shot.)
You are not what you eat what you eat is only part of why we die from
Nothing (Tap)
will come over and hug
Nothing (Tap)
his name feminine
enough to stop a war for
poor Brian, your fiance' was so ugly and fucking around on you
when you died in Iraq
pause
over
Nothing (Tap)
I tried gave her
Nothing (Tap)
to show for
missing phone calls with forgottens
awakens morning like a drunk
throbbing and coughing to recognize
Nothing (Tap)
Sometimes a note, but mostly no, though
here goes one ya don't know
you're lazy and lonely with good health and lost mail
from
Nothing (Tap)
A black mail, no a black person
a
a
Nothing (Tap)
you can't blame the snake for biting
you can't keep those boys from fighting
and you can't blame a guy for trying
so don't be so fucking conviving
when children are out there dying
since its only to yourself your lying
or that ugly ass bitch your two-timing
they all blame you for surviving
her breathless body not reviving
not loud enough so try mich-ing
not proud enough for my liking
nothing that hard's worth trying
you answered by simply sighing
you didn't fail, you're just retrying
using the same word for rhyming
is never clever enough when rhyming
this isn't a rant its whining
cuz you can't afford fine dining
so go drink and do some blind siding
and end this debt ridden life your living
It was a truck fulllllla' nigger eggs, and two of um hatched. (Strike a pose.)
Oh, C'mon folks. I got a coloureD television. (Gesture to the television on a bucket connected to a ps2 that runs the controls of GTA to the silent mitts of a black man.)
So why do black people hate aspirin?...because it works, its white, and you gotta pick through cotton to get at it.
(Dialogue with silent mitts of a black man, while putting in a dolorean and planting the drums.)
What? Don't take it like that. What do you mean? What do I mean by sharing jokes? I guess, I mean, why don't you sit and listen to me tell some stories while you get offended, so no; no, no actual jokes were shared. Jesus. (Point to audience) You thought it was funny.
(Let the drums grow. Cross to the future and play in the empty space to synchopate.)
tap tap tap tap. tap tap tap tap. tap. tap tap. tap. tap tap tap tap.
