Wiz with the Sciz


so much more than a haircut
entertaining
energizing
neuroses exchange

hip hop hipster
be-bop bipster
talk of the hood

banter spills out
fast, faster,
snip-snap snipster
clumps of bray hair
hit the black and white checkered floor

a quiet man listens on the zebra striped bench
chartreuse molding collects curlicues of dark hair

“Stigs” says the Wiz
my grandfather
the greatest ballplayer on the planet
he lived in Kingston
people said he was shit.
