Eyes Dyed in Saturated Retinas - Rhys Langston, Chester Watson

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Blue light of instruments

Came from Texas

It’s said that great change to

Spawn from the elections

But sitting on electric fences

Don’t feel much like a welcome—

Head, shoulders, knees, toes

Head, shoulders, knees, toes

Head, shoulders, knees, toes

My brother’s colonists with a candid photo

Wading in the water of the

Soup of the metrics

Skin tone as an as-needed

Hat trick

Family from the old and the new

World ghettos, oppression olympics

Medaled in

Mementos

My man Solar said we the splash on the canvas

Pilgrim in the freight car bellowing «so it goes»

Up on the pedestal with a brushstroke

So I guess I’m the kosher Black gesso then

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Still to rise

Staid in waiting for the moment

That I blow

Etched a selfie on the front

Of the claymore

Combust a musty gesture

Of drawings of past pentimentos

I don’t see

How I should pay for

This wall that hinders me

Respectfully gone deep in their

Non-binary pussy

I was a drawbridge before

Now nondisclosure to agree

Still to rise

Staid in waiting for the moment to

Hold all the smoke

Alone in two-way mirrors

To share and self-promote

Thinking in an outside voice

A skinny hunk of flesh of

Outside jokes

I don’t see

This prescription of ethics over

This lamb over rice

Rationalizing never done saying

The same thing twice

Piecing a detritus self back

For Jamal Khashogghi

I am not the Michael Jordan

Of Delaware

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

Might be a partial jurist

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

I am unenthused to be looking

Laissez-faire in that vanity mirror

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

When it comes to

Miscegenating between art forms

(eyes dyed)

I’m a purist

Move like a genie in smoke

Nipsey and Ras G in my toast

And 2019 been a coaster

Think of my mortality as I coast

And lately been channeling ancestors

So forgive if you see me with ghosts

Me and Rhys, LSD, and some doja

All the times that I been to the ocean

And still haven’t smoked weed on a boat

I need property with a moat

On some king shit

Never vibed with the mean kids

OGs like «what you mean kid?»

Guess I’m too far out towards the deep end

But far enough where I’d sink in

Let it sink in

Your world could change as you’re blinking—

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas

Eyes dyed in saturated

Light-skinned nigga on the dark web

GoPro on the pole arm

Megapixel minuscule

Refracting the side arm

In portrait mode

Punch a crypto-fascist

In the throat

Esophageal armistice in silo

Bleach blonde endangered rhino

Memes on the radio

Gruel in my cup

Double styrofoam half-life

Of a video star

Binged, upchucked

This that art rock with a

Ransom note

Through a corner office window

I want all the fire, and the brimstone

And the fucking smoke
