tse rap - j. s. havens lyrics

Loading...

you and i
ethereized in the corner both
sippin pabst and greygoose
gregor samsa’s there too

to help me out with a problem exponential:
just another one to me, a crisis existential

(oh, and the problem:
please don’t ask “what is it ”?
please, come on
let’s go make our visit)

i’mma spit an april verse, for
it’s the cruelest, cruelest, worst

in only 3 years i became an ‘09 harvard graduate
married six years later
then separated, remained celibate
until valerie fletcher became valerie eliot

but i’ve the swagger of a prufrock:
disappointed with the future
and worried ‘bout my bald spot
i mean, i’m an intellectual, i’m not much of a looker
(by the way, was prufrock’s audience a hooker?)

but back to my first wife vivienne
she went crazy, but i stuck with her
even when she went inst-tutional
but something great came out of that crucible

my crowning achievement: i’d written “the wasteland”
i couldn’t believe it!

it almost wasn’t published
the ship would have run aground
if it wasn’t for my bestie ezra pound

(no h0m-: i’m anglican)

so i was crowned the king of modernism:
the n0bel was my victory lap
now i’ve got more awards than
cougar girls who’ve got the clap

but what is modernism?
a response to works before:
brontë sisters are long winded
dostoyevsky is a bore

instead i choose to chop up time
and spit it right back at you
modern man is basically evil
but allusion will always do you true

and i even helped pave the way for
pynchonesque postmodernism:
macavity, macavity, there’s no one like macavity
he’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity…
