My name is Chance. This is my poem for 07-31-2005…

Note:
Hit the first phrase hard, with pauses in between each word (…), like you’re hitting a drum.
the 2nd phrase of each line should be read like rat ta-tat tat tat, also very percussive. like a drum; like a machine gun.

take…break…. run to the left and fake
tear…there… better to shake than swear
if….you… know when your time is due
you….might… never give in and fight

i….look… but don’t wanna know the book
E…..Z….. if you got the score it’s arguably
right…now… when you have to take a stand
buy…. in…. pick up a rake; don’t let them fake you

out… side!.. better to stare with pride!
damn… straight… nobody hibernates!
write… down… the things that have let you frown
don’t… wait… so they’ll never aggravate!

Pass…on… these little words of truth!
so…you… know just what to do…,

…NEXT TIME.
