Quiet

hey, you're so quiet today
a head on Easter Island staring into space
lemme know, is something wrong?
usually you're animated but today you're so withdrawn
so hey, gimme a signal
cause right now your eyes read like a riddle
let me know what did I do?
or has your appetite faded and I'm just a fool?
you could be covered in worms and I'd still think you're the greatest
your teeth could all fall out,= I'd still call you my favorite
but sometimes I feel just like your heart's hibernating
I get so afraid what we have and had is fading
too fast, I don't want you to go
I love you more than Kerouac loves the road
let's go back to the beginning
when I could set your vinyl heart a skip-a-skip-a-skipping
so lonely is the distance
please tell me what you're thinking
so lonely is the distance
please tell me what you're dreaming
hey, why this noiseless display?
a little peace and quiet don't say what you should say
lemme know are things alright?
your bark is so meek I can't feel if there's a bite
cause hey I'd like to listen
since this silence sounds like a partition
if you don't speak what can I see?
besides that maybe you'd rather have it be that I leave
you could be ugly as sin and I'd claim you're the finest
you could wear burlap sacks, I'd call you a diamond
'metimes I get the feeling we're slowly drifting
'metimes I get the vibe that you wouldn't miss this
in the slightest. silence got me blindsided
and I hate it, why'd you have to get so damn quiet
with your language? I miss you being vibrant
with excitement, I miss your brilliance.

Graffiti

spirit of a culture
unexpected art form
phenomenon of bombing on
the corner of your drugstore
egocentric mentions
legitimate expression
y'all we scrawling an we drawing
getting all up on that fame shit
we're wild style
top to bottom
like HONDO, DEADLEG, CHAIN, LEE
and the porn you've been watching
take a look
in my piece book
you'll find I'm baking mad ideas
cause my brain's an ink cook
I'm a weed in the sidewalk
grow where i don't belong
creeping on the sleeping walls
showing y'all them new drawings
giving you the burners
some kinda blockbusters
if you try to cover up
we're coming back with em markers
fat skinny caps
no female tips
we cut them thin lines
stylized like them drips
hit freights
from union to central
fuck the pigs and the bulls
buffing over our stencils
what's the best kind of line? graffiti
what ya want, what ya need? graffiti
where's the finest designs? graffiti
what ya want what ya need? graffiti
precision like breakbeats
angels of the concrete
clean as soul searchers
drumming one for the elite
passion of the youth crews
feeling like a church group
devotion to the motion of the
pens from the old school
this is heaven
or soon it will be
cause the higher you climb
the sooner you rest in peace
if you don't rot in jail
you'll sure rot in hell
cause they'll tase you soon as chase you
or they you shoot you in the heel
feeling like achilles
coppers please don't kill me
I'm israel hernandez
just bringing art to the city
yeah we're flies on the walls
with the skyline as our muse
in pursuit of creation
can't pay mind to the rules
new scribes
we ride line to line
paint stains on our nails
from the way we spray the time
unified by the grace
in the way we defile
technique-ing so uniquely
we're mean freaks on the tiles
