My Expressway (of Poetry)

By Ralph B. Cooper

My Expressway (of Poetry) are my thoughts and feelings conveyed in fast paced poetic lines of phrases and verses that express the reasons and seasons of personal and casual impressions on  events and how it all appears to me, "2b".  Looking out from the windows at life literally and figurative are part and parcel in my style of poetry on common experiences.  My beltway of bars are fast moving from entrance to arrival, and like the highways and by-ways we have all travelled upon, its easy to become lost in the fast moving horizons that come and go, until our point of exit, when we realize we have travelled or better yet sojourned, making new experiences based on mental destinations from the insight and sound of words, verses and prose delivery.  Fasten your mental seatbelts and enjoy the ride!

Ralph B. Cooper

My name is Ralph B. Cooper, I started writing poems on various online social media groups and poetry sites.  My poetry name is 2b2b2, which can mean to be; to become or just being.  The #2 and the letter "B" are my favorite number and letter and that is basically the origin of my poetic name. My writes mostly focus on humanity and the chronicles of the human experience, good, bad and all that comes between.

MY CLAIM  2b

––––––––

I’m present, past 

and about 2b

I’m sometimes wrong and

that’s  alright with me

2b in love  not just

romancing  me

It hasn’t  been  proven, 

unless  its chosen 2b

Sometimes  I  tend  to  be 

wet  with  rain  cleansing  me

Oftentimes  dry  as  in  finding  nothing

funny  in  evidence

Otherwise,  I’m overtaken 

by  sunny  rays  streaming

Leaving me  in  a  state  of  laughing ,

singing  and  dancing

Clouds  return  2b  seen  and  shaded, 

experiences jaded

Edifying  by  the  wind  blowing  in

direction for  detection

Answering  questions  planted

by  retrospection

Thru  further  inspection, 

Seeing  my  birthright  divinity

Acknowledging  my  physiology  2b

that  of  yin  and  yang

Contained  in  a  frame

2b  discovered  and  evolved

Through  revolutions  of 

sudden  eruptions  2b  witnessing

Nativity  of  inward  eyes  of 

one  third  portion  magnifying

Reinforcing  my  claim  2b 

is in fact  true  2b  most  emphatically

Dropping to  my  knees  in  praise

for another chance 2b

And that is  all  within  one  day..........

Thank You Lord.......

AMEN

INTENTION OF ATTENTION

––––––––

I YELL OUT LOUD

YOU SCREAM TO BE SEEN

WE CURSE TO BE HEARD

OPEN YOUR EYES SO YOU CAN SEE

ATTENTION IS WHAT WE CRAVE

WHETHER BY WORD OR BY DEED

IN ACTION OR IN FASHION

LIKE FAKE EYELASHES OR MUSCLE SHIRTS

IN THIS HERE MEDIA AGE SHYT IS GETTING WORSE

ATTENTION IS WHAT EVERYONE IS GRABBING

LIKE EATING REALLY FAST AND BURPING

BEING UPSET AND ACTING BERZERK

OR DRINKING REALLY LOUD IS CALLED SLURPING

I NEED ATTENTION

IS WHAT I’M REALLY SAYIN’

AS MY EGO SCREAMS AND

THOUGH OFTEN FLEETING IT SEEMS

LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!

BEHAVING OR MISBEHAVING

RUNNING OR WALKING

IS WHAT I WILL BE DISPLAYING

MY DRAMATIC OVERTURE SCREAMS

LOOK AT ME,

LOOK AT ME

PUT ALL YOUR ATTENTION AND FOCUS

TO ME.

PANTS ARE SAGGING,

HIP-HOP AND RAP IS ANOTHER FORM OF BRAGGING

TALKING IN THE FORM OF CUSSING

COLORS REPRESENTING

LIKE POETRY EXPOSING

RAISING YOUR VOICE WHEN DISAGREEING

PULLING OUT AND BUSTING A GAT

AS A FORM OF PERCUSSION

OR JUST A REASON TO NOTICE ME

BEGGING AND PLEADING

ATTENTION IS WHAT I MUST HAVE

ATTENTION CAUSE I’M MAKING SENSE
