there was a time when hip-hop felt like a secret
society of wizards & wordsmiths. magicians
meant to find you or you were meant to find
like rappers i listened to & memorized in history
class talked specifically to me, for me.
& sometimes
you’d see a kid whisper to himself
in the corner of a bus seat & you
asked if he rhymed & traded a poem
a verse like a fur pelt / trapping.
some gold or food. this sustenance.
you didn’t have to ride solo anymore.
Jonathan was the first kid i met who rapped. he was Black
from a prep school, wore ski goggles on top his head & listened
to Wu-Tang which meant he was always rhyming about science
& chess. his pops made him read Sun Tzu. his mans was Omega
a fat Puerto Rican who wrote graffiti & smoked bidis.
