As you may have gathered, the three of us bloggers come from the small town of Franklin, Tennessee. While the people are wonderful and the place has so much to offer, life can seem a little slow sometimes! For this reason, 1/3 of this blog has taken to the streets. That's right, Isi Beach has gone to Chicago and she's never coming back (actually she is, but let her think that for now). The hustle and bustle of the big city is thrilling and Isi feels that she has come alive. So, while the city never sleeps, Isi stays up all night and writes about it. She can feel the electricity of the windy city coursing through her- and she hopes that with this poem, you can too.
City Mouth
My mouth, the revolver
Runnin round the city like it knows somebody
Or is somebody
Spitting rhymes like bullets
Speed of light can't keep up
Flying high on crack, speed, with ecstasy
With power
Shooting down anything like "move bitch, you're in the way"
Fits in, in this city
Pizza mouth lipstick mouth power mouth M79
My mouth,
The revolver.
by Isi Beach

Time for some rapid-fire fun facts (you've gotta procrastinate somehow)
ReplyDelete1. Chicago was dubbed the "Windy City" not for its weather, but for its long-winded politicians.
2. You can see four different states from the Sears Tower Skydeck.
3. Chicago debued the skyscraper, zipper, Ferris wheel, and Twinkie, amongst other things.
4. Chicago's Western Avenue is the world's longest street.
5. Harrison Ford, Walt Disney, Jane Addams, and ME were all born there.
Pow. I'm sure this experience was enlightening for us all. Isi, be sure to stop by Margie's Candies while you're there. Tasty.
