&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s the late hours that I feel like particles, separation from thyself, further from desirables. I can feel the slipping away, chipping to fade, like the dark side of a carnival. Have you seen me? It’s 2am. I’m the child that’s been blindfold. I wish I couldn’t write, wishing my talk fit the honor code. Wishing I wasn’t swimming with the 6 feet barnacles. But I am unspoken for, I am my own ghost, transparency inherently, like the wood from my own boat. You are the beam and the nails, the crosshatch keeping hold, as I navigate us through nastiness, my imagination is our storm. Why can’t I shake this? Or erase this death note? I’m writing in the margins, floating farther from my home. A cacophony, yet probably, I’m conducting this approach. The medley of misery I so often deem my own. I wish I was wittier, spiffier, the twinkle in your toes, perhaps the pep in your step, but unfortunately none of those. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36272921022</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36272921022</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2012 02:59:11 -0500</pubDate><category>wordplay</category><category>launchpadnyc</category><category>spoken word</category><category>poetry</category><category>self-aggrandizing</category><category>open sea</category><category>ocean</category></item><item><title>"And we didn’t let them, circumvented their sentence. “Don’t mention it” was conventional, and..."</title><description>“And we didn’t let them, circumvented their sentence. “Don’t mention it” was conventional, and beautiful, your intentions.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Wordplay 174: I don’t have anything to offer you and neither you to me, but we never asked what we wanted, love transcended our needs. Your hand upon mine as we drift like the breeze. Hearts heavier from handing out, canned goods from our knees. The sponsors were gone, but we were built to never leave. Because they needed us, the beat in us, reminded that no man should ever plead. And we didn’t let them, circumvented their sentence. “Don’t mention it” was conventional, and beautiful, your intentions. You cared enough to force that smile, cause it wasn’t about your grief, it was about the other half, the green-less grass, and reuniting King and the weak. And I love you for that! I haven’t met you but I know that’s how you’d act. To walk away, to play pretend, to flip the channels, recklessly. We couldn’t and we wouldn’t and there happenstance found me. Your long strands, your soft hands, yet I’m broken beyond belief. Fingers interlocked, one hand on the wheel, the other puzzle pieced. From the good God above, he glows in your smiles, and is warmth in your cheek. We’re riding the coastline, battle-scarred with defeats, we can work and we can play, but at this moment there’s only peace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36224496506</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36224496506</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:16:11 -0500</pubDate><category>love</category><category>wordplay</category><category>launchpadnyc</category><category>future</category><category>wife</category><category>good match</category><category>social service</category><category>humanitarian</category><category>driving</category><category>coast</category><category>imperfect</category></item><item><title>Werdpleigh 173:

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I’m just a winter-coat, puffed and fairly seasonal. Reasonably meaningless and not worth your earful. I am the peace of mind when you dislocate your lyrical, beautiful, interval of clarity, my presence is forgettable. The disdain is minimal, but we’re arms length with tentacles, keeping us from choking off, life’s liberty a spectacle. You can count off your venom armed, or let it soak through like antidote. Except this time, in this line, you’ve been liberated ten-fold. The mental essentials are like a manifold of miracles. Come alive, catapult, sanctify, catacombs. Amplify, animals, question, who’s the matador? I’m a real eyesore. I’m a real cyborg. It only really hit me when I was hit by the front door. I’m on my way out. And as Mr. Mayer played out, it’s the last thing I wanna check before I really check out. Love is the melody that I’m dissonant when belting out, a would-be carry on, but a raucous to his muck, miss, I’m the troublesome troubadour they’re asking you to carry out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36222503585</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/36222503585</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:44:54 -0500</pubDate><category>wordplay</category><category>launchpadnyc</category><category>love</category><category>matador</category><category>John Mayer</category><category>Christmas Story</category><category>puffy jacket</category><category>reflection</category><category>doubt</category></item><item><title>Seriously Gungor?

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sometimes I’m feeling like a walking piece of crazy. I’m my own kind of sideshow, with no ads shown daily. I’m off on tangents enough to be the main thing. Wanna watch me lose it? I can seat you, no waiting. It’s appalling, a pallbearer for my own waking. My own little zone, you can call it home on the raging. Outrageous, how heinous, how dare this young Asian! Ooh still young? Like a mental vacation! But really, is there really a point to belly-achin’? I tell you what, if there wasn’t, so what? I’m famous! Well at least in my head, and my mama says to say it. Whatever’s on your mind, son, we all get to weigh in. And even if I don’t, trust me I’ll find my way in. You will appreciate, and you will entertain this. You will learn to love your fellow man and your lady, cause even if we don’t meet your plans, we were created, magnificent and in an image we were all made in, a likeness both frightening, like lightening but amazing. You think you know yourself? Just a faint imagination. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31776194850</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31776194850</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Sep 2012 23:15:32 -0400</pubDate><category>wordplay</category><category>launchpad</category><category>nyc</category><category>asian</category><category>chinese</category><category>rhyme</category><category>poetry</category><category>God</category></item><item><title>“Wordplay” No. 171

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Alright roll the tape back, play it once more, but crank it up on the playback. I don’t really see why it’s gotta be a-sap, guess I don’t wanna be gone like the 8 track. I don’t wanna be gone like your gas tank, burning cool through your cash, but we’re broker than a Kit Kat. I used to be afraid of being of nada, just a flashback. Folks reminisce about his hooks and his hunchback. But remember his baby? That slick, black, hatchback? Crazy, quasi-calm but his motto was to fast-track. He sped through his words, but lacked cool of a Cadillac, more bull and china shop, watch it go gallivant.  But then they come along, all the folks and their “matt’a facts.” Touting how the tower talks, yet no one dares to talk back. You bring around your melodies, and sell to me the super-pack. Bundled up superfast, heart in sleeve bubble wrap. Now it’s hard to sleep, knowing kids don’t second glance. They hardly know a thing about patience, what’s that? Intimidated by the facts, lest they get the Can-Can. Kicked in the rump, bump up-up-and away act. Cracked in the skull and the truth might counteract, infecting convention, and the truth becomes hazmat. A beautiful artifact, recovered like a fanny pack, a blast from the past, shoulda stayed but we want it back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31715144453</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31715144453</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Sep 2012 01:02:00 -0400</pubDate><category>fanny pack</category><category>launchpad</category><category>nyc</category><category>wordplay</category><category>can can</category><category>hazmat</category><category>kit kat</category><category>8 track</category><category>cadillac</category></item><item><title>“I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you’ll...</title><description>&lt;iframe class="spotify_audio_player" src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify%3Atrack%3A7wclPheMJAUKn2njmO2s3A&amp;view=coverart" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" width="500" height="580"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you’ll like, I’m fine and dandy with the me inside, one look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink, I don’t give a hoot about what you think!”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31042013452</link><guid>http://launchpadnyc.tumblr.com/post/31042013452</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:33:02 -0400</pubDate><category>music</category><category>spotify</category></item></channel></rss>
