Bicycles Are FLY: The Textual Evidence

"Bicycles: because love requires trust and balance."- Nikki Giovanni

Check out the latest collection... IT'S ILL!

Scrumptious Tunes Overflowin the MP3 Plate



A plate of tunes coming your way via the Camp Lo kitchen. The album is pretty decent, they remain consistent with the soul, jazz , and funk fusion which I 'preciate. The lyrics and beats aren't BAM IN YA FACE spectacular, however there are some gems in the jewelry box.

Tracks I'm Feelin':

- "89 of Crimes"
- "Ticket 4 2"
- "Pips"
- "After the Marv"

Check the album out on your own time... see if you feelin' it.

In Celebration of Ladies' History Month: Last Minute Thoughts

This has to be one of the ILLEST love pieces ever written! I didn't fall in love, I had a serious mind collision with it.

PS- Did I mention the author will be at my school April 2?!




I Wrote A Good Omelet by Nikki Giovanni

I wrote a good omelet...and ate
a hot poem... after loving you

Buttoned my car...and drove my
coat home...in the rain...
after loving you

I goed on red...and stopped on
green...floating somewhere in between...
being here and being there...
after loving you

I rolled my bed...turned down
my hair...slightly
confused but...I don't care...

Laid out my teeth...and gargled my
gown...then I stood
...and laid me down...

To sleep...
after loving you

Washing Out My Dandruff Thoughts: Rinse 7

An older gentleman who is a professor at my school was on the shuttle today sitting across from my friend and I. With today's New York Times in hand (specifically the business day section) and a softback business textbook on the vacant next seat next to him, trust me as I say, the man was in the zone!

Dig this--- The dude was bumpin his classical music like some of us youngins with our rap music! He was just smilin as he was keeping abreast of the latest news in stocks and economic meltdown while bumpin his classical composition mixtape--- such an ill moment. Go 'head sir!
