A day in the life of dupont circle
Sitting Squatting waiting rotting
hopefully spotting that screen on these machines i been watching
cuz green is a means to the escape i been plotting
and jotting these thoughts i sketch about gettin caught
cuz heats been brought to the streets of dupont
so shady
and the shade of the trees is not what i mean
this spot is now shot
jumpout cops undercovers come from underneath rocks
circlin the blocks got the circle on lock
as the temperature rises on the other banks clock
another notch higher
i grab my stuff all my bags stuffed with razors and pliers
audio video wires mp3 cds's out dated club flyers
and yes all my attire
i hire a cab rent a room spend an entire days pay
am i playin with fire?
if i lie to myself does that make me a liar?
i confess my situation is dire
yet this wire i walk wears thin
climbin bean stalks i cant ever win
yet i plan again and again
yet im where i begin
all caught in, my old skin, my old scars
now its all about cards
credit not debit, powder and hard
pharmacuetical oh so beautiful magic little shards
and dive bars, and hotels
oh i know it so well, its so swell,
indulging in my own hell
but dont tell no one i fell
well, well, here i am at this crossroads, its this famliar decision
incisions so freakin old
envision livin different but i just dont know
right now i just need somethin cold
so i cant even finish this poem
