I wish I was a better rapper! Full text at https://clairevetica.com/

gotta be

Pack up your bushel in your old kit bag

I think the problems 
are the bad things ?
I think the strengths weak
oh, cut the strings

Talk, talk, talk, talk 
feels like a beginning
but it’s banter, chatter, nothing-muchof
saying ‘I am’ is not winning

It’s all fused like
a mangled globe of light
don’t hide it under a bushel, love! 
but what if/ the bad things/ the bad thoughts/ the bad strengths/ the bad weaks/ the bad weeks/ the bad strings
are right?
