Woodhull - Billy Woods

Time turtles hurdled into Dante’s first circle

100 meter hurdle Pompeii, Wyckoff Myrtle

Homeless tempers flare over plastic chairs half squared

Bust down to for which I’m aware

Blank stare desk duty bored seen it all before all aboard

Uninsured test results rekindle faith in the lord

Gun shot wounds, shackled to gurney

Guarded by goons plea for attorney

Babylon cackle Saturday morning cartoons

Emergency room beep half dead sand in the beach

Beg for the priest, off this food you won’t last a week

Diabetes snatch the feet

Take a number, gnash teeth

Stab victim, clutch your stomach

Front of the line, that’s a come up

Scalded baby, mom distraught, boyfriend cagey, crazy

Sick rabies, old ladies alone, bundled up against the cold

Feel bad but you best not go before me though

Hold yak on speakerphone

Extra trifling like we really want to know

Lady shook her head, said «Damn shame no training at home»

No surprise neighbors trying to kick game

She struck Heisman pose eyes groping the thighs

I’m no better close captioned telenovela

Let me tell ya

Bed-Stuy, do or die, not just a rap line

It’s policy, fill out forms, retrieve their property

Bent like apostrophe

All apologies outside radiology
