bombing garages on my longboard

swag on infinity
watch my rope-tails hang
magic works
like touching anything before the sun can
do
it's just dying to
reach you
magic works at smiling away HIV
he's still dying though
when can't i stop
smiling
when can't i forget my name isn't
lil wayne
say money a thousand times a second
or a million times a milisecond
learn from the internet
i watched a youtube on how to be a billionare
i watched vhs of early 90s playoffs
i said
hey thats million dollar poetry there
i said hey thats million dollar poetry
i said million dollar poems
million poems
poems
i broke that down like a zone defense
i took out the money
and reminded myself about winning game 7
because there is no i in poetry

"just kept showing me rap videos"

the tone of this line feels a bit off for some reason. the rest of the poem is great, and the last line is great, like it's such a goofy line but the fact that you made that line work in a poem, i feel is a major accomplishment. great title, great poem, great final line.

also i wrote a blog about writers group but also it is moreso about you.
