pop culture addiction on paper

(Maxwell playing)
“They be tryin to bring you flowers”…
will leave you taking ice cold showers
dreaming about entering Kent’s dapper trousers
Benson has more glove than Jeff Blauser
shortstop, Atlanta Braves, double play
you and your girl are out!
had your chance, any doubts?
but your ego was far too high in the clouds
only mine can be that high due to my conceited clout
Bass Master Kent eroded the lake, taking all their fresh trout
wrapped his net around your soaking, fish stinking head
stomach skinny, ribs showing, like for months you haven’t hunted smaller chum or been bait fed
out of the water, the Kid compliments all day, turning your cheeks a slight tone of red
until he loses interest, throws you back, then tears your heart slowly bled
now attacking you in dreams like Kreuger, Fred
Nightmare on Elm Street
nightmare on your street when i knocked you off your narrow, nimble feet
wanted to be at the front of young Benson’s expanding fleet
ahead of the other girl’s rocking his ragged, Mick Jagger beat
now, you’re constantly hating him, calling him a creep
Radiohead, Pablo Honey or OK Computer?
Kent is more like the Roots, OKAYPLAYER
you got your fix, i got more than what deserved to be mine
be mad about it, i just smile coyly, like usual, Â because i’m fine
with it
been hurt too many fucking times
by dimes like you
but once i clean y’all off, there is no luster and definitely no shine
just attractive features, nothing genuine on the inside
really dug you, was never lying
i’ve just belted and yelled McCartney’s “Oh! Darling” too many times
these shallow girls made my weak brain insane
checking into the cheapest psych ward in my sight, plain
find the address, Goggle Map it and arrive the same day
and every girl i mentioned is sitting in the entrance window frame
(Geto Boys playing)
“Damn homey, my mind is playing tricks on me”…
