Van: *Mxstr*
You bathe in chocolate brown and geometric patterns
And dry yourself in 70's orange
Still sporting a 'fro
- which no doubt you've been told
has got to go
They say you're stuck in a 70's timewarp
Which you know is a lovewarp
that takes you back to your mamas kitchen
Baking bread and rolling dough babies
to the table edge
Squinting through your curtain of hair
Now you're the epitome of chic, so cool
you straddle the edge of uncool
And dont give a damn
- but thats your appeal
When they ask what's your mix you answer
one part water, two parts love and three parts poetry
you take up your needles to knit intricate rhymes,
crochet lyrical beats into the wool you form into hats
that make melodies seep into your head
tap, tap, tap, scat, scat, scatting down the street
Your joie de vivre is the scarf you wear around your neck
keeping you warm on your way to mamas lovewarp
as you balance books in your brain
words seeping through the 'fro
swaying to and fro
feet tapping, DJ beat scatting
scat, scat,scat
heels tap, tap, tapping down the street.
