Spoken word... is anyone a fan?

I'll start... read it out loud if you can...

Fragmented thoughts, immobilized walks through a polarized mindframe. When I say fragmented I mean thoughts incomplete, only sporadically speaking... as the mental facetiously be creeping. Unbalanced subliminal malnutritioned thinking habits got me fasting on weekends. Feeling nauseated during evenings from the daily bs they intravenously be feeding. Because they offer me food for thought, but I'm refusing to eat it. On a starvation diet til the plantation of my mind becomes soil and seeded.

Paint a thousand word picture, but the world will not see it. Cause they'd rather promote dreams as holding the keys to lifes meaning, than convincing every individual that their lives hold the keys that give their dreams meaning. False positive proof concluding, evolution is the reason for our being. Revolution of truth needed to thwart the lies disguised through what we're seeing and breathing.

So I'm left immobilized walking through landmines of unsanitized mind frames. My inability in part is frustration, for my mental can no long erect with sensation. For the coarse hand of deception causes more friction than tolerable diction for the smooth lubricated stroke of truth; is what's missin. So the mind becomes repeatedly forced into submission after centuries of being contorted in impregnable positions. The feeling is that of being locked in an hallucinogenic prison that only appears when the mind is conflicted. Our yearning for knowledge, the burning addiction born into bondage... the eternal affliction. For time is so twisted for in this condition... there's no judge, no conviction, there's no one forgiven and the truth never shines through except for an instant. Between the motionless sickness and the times of cerebral impotence revisited.

My conjugal visits come in the form of a spiritual mistress, who from a distance arouses my wisdom... caresses my soul as I slowly jerk the mental fantasizing of knowledge I'm wishing to hold. Those fabricated brainwaves begin to erode the virginal shores of my mind, for it knows by massaging my templates... just enough... subtly erupt through the masturbation of my mind, words beginning to come, ejaculation so divine. The truth continues to come, allows me to exodus.

The deficit of spiritual funds, as my virility comes the instability of words that follow are none. Irrigated by way of these phonetical floods transmitting through my veins , innoculating my blood. No longer are the equations equaling none, no longer considered equivocally dumb. No longer walking through the slums of world without sun... through the masturbation of my mind... the truth finally comes.
 
i've been to a couple of Henry Rollins spoken word shows and they've been great. Even if you hate this guy, you should go to his spoken word shows...3 hours flies bye.
 
I enjoyed the William S Burrough spoken word discs. He made one with the Disposable Heros of Hipocrasy that was good. Had "Words of Advice for Young People" as well as quite a few more that were really good.

So I guess the bling bling wearing fools are... :beer:😛

That work you posted is cleverly put together, and would possibly make for interesting rap lyrics. Too bad I'm not a fan of either genre..
 
i usually watch Russel Simmons (sp?) Def Poetry on HBO on Saturday nites... does that count as spoken word??

in any case, i saw this really awesome one by this guy named Shihan, but i don't have the transcript for it... i'll try to look for it...

[edit] here we go, i found it.... note:kinda long!

Love Like
by Shihan

I want a love like me
thinking of you
thinking of me
thinking of you type love,
or me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to
myself about how I feel about you type love,
or hating how jealous you are, but loving how much you
want me all to your self type love,
or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to
my last name,
and sh!t, I wanted to see how far I could get without
calling you, and I barely made it out of my garage.

See, I want a love that makes me wait until she falls
asleep then wonder if she dreaming about us being in love
type love,
or who loves the other more,
or what she's doing at this exact moment,
or slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the
music of our hearts, closing my eyes and imagining how a
love so good could just hurt so much when she not there.
Sh!t, I love not knowing where this love is headed type
love.

And check this, I want to place those little post-it notes
all around the house so she never forgets how much I love
her type love then not have enough ink in my pen to write
all there is to love about her type love.
Hope that I make her feel as good as she makes me feel,
and I want to deal with my friends making fun of me the
way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love type love.

Only difference is this is one of those real love type
loves.
and just like in high school, I want to spend hours on the
phone with her not saying sh!t,
and then fall asleep and then wake up with HER right next
to me,
and smell her all up in my covers type love

I want to try to counting the ways I love her, and then
lose count in the middle just so that I have to start all
over again.
I want to celebrate one of those month anniversaries even
though they ain't really anniversaries, but doin' it just
cause it makes her happy type love.

And check this, I want fall in love with the melody the
phone plays when her number is dialed in to her type loves
and then talk to you til I lose my breathe, she leaves me
breathless, so with the expanding of my lungs I inhale all
of her back into me

I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone
calling plan to something that allows me to talk to her longer
because, in all honesty, I want to avoid one of them high
cell phone bill type loves.

I want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are
I mean the lines on my palms don't give me enough time to
love as long as I'd like to type loves,
and I want a love that makes me st-st-st-st-stutter just thinking
about how strong this love is type love.

I want a love that makes me want to cut off all my hair
Well, maybe not all of the hair
maybe just cut the split ends and trim my mustache, but
it will still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.

And check this, I kinda feel comfortable now, so I can tell y'all this

I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light just dying
to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory
get transported to some third world country

just to get treated

then somehow meet up again with you so that I
could fall in love with you in a different language just
to see if it still feels the same type love.

I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is, but I'm
married, so she is going to be the one that I share this
love with.

Is Spoken Word something like Spalding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia? Loved that!

Monster in a Box was also quite good.

I'm a fan of Laurie Anderson's old work, but she did mix in music and a little singing so it wasn't "pure."
