life and times of beto p.

I got so much trouble on my mind B as in B-Boy E as in E-coli 2 as in 2 many
Romancing the philosopher's stone T as in Tyranasauras Wrecks O as in Oh, no 13 for luck


my mind's a city scape
scatttered 
with

unimportant thoughts
forgotten like homeless huddled

spotted 
with bright lights
burning in a 5th floor ballet
studio

thoughts like
braggadocious busniess men ideas 
pin striped pensamientos
pressed for time as money

many many immigrant meditations
reside
conversations conjured like quilts
in my mind
civil war patches
and dying crop dreams
refugeed
stop here along the city of my mind

alongside the beautiful
youthful thoughts
who squawk on the back of the bus
monkey bars
singing a few bars 
a ballad of the latest greatest 
hood star
top astronomer
the high philosopher minded

police thoughts regulating rage
and my everyday contained desires
to do the daring

thoughts of scaling convalescent
residential 
towers
like the human 
fly
spying through the 18th floor window
reading the headlines
on a napping senior 
citizen's lap
