THE OPEN MIC CYPHER

[Mr. J]

Forget saying 'I'm blessed'
I'm a mess, spitting out threats
controlling the Hydra heads
dancing to the taste of burnt flesh
stressed, and equally enamored
dance with the devil..pale moonlight
pull back the hammer ..
one shot kill, glorified camper.
bag full of tricks, the sack of Santa
you kids deserve all that I hand ya
None of what I grant ya..
nuts like a bag of planters
plutonium in the delorean
straight out of Oregon...what?

[Wise Wiggles]

A crazy motherfucker named Mr. J
Who one time had a milf minage trois on winter break
Just a bunch of semen ricochet
Demon in the shade, angel when sun touch
Decieve even the devil for an angle or come up
As painful as some love, I discontinue the vintage
Broad day, Montana style- give a shit who's a witness
it's so blissful to grimace. I fingertip blood write
Fighter pilot, but only while dreaming in up right

[Eŋg]

this season i dug life a ditch - six feet deep.
the sound of the shovel was a bit indiscreet,
soil's soft so i chose to dig in the street.
all my problems on the wayside, in an imminent heap
of tarmac i can't map -- i'm a little relieved.
i feel cigarette heat gently kindle a spirit in me.
i sit. i sniff;. i breathe. foggy breath christens an eve-
-ning all crisp and serene. gentle hint of a breeze
as the moon lit up the scene.
how is it my mind is ever shifting to sleep?
when most days are slumber and that shit's on repeat.
i would kill it to leave.

[Mr. J]

Find me decked out in fur & loose breasts
with a smile on my permanently screwed head
Feeling myself in a Peewee Herman suit..
Next to Nacho Libre waiting to get German Suplex'd
two heads are better than one..unless you siamese
but my other head is twice the size of me
hanging like Big Bens face trying to see
small dogs take a bite out of crime..
me I take a bite out of society
find me causing a scene Jake Gyllenhaal
Night crawlin' go 'head get your friends involved

Hypocritical mythril mill

Ripples seal middle deal
Simple ills & little bills

[Wise Wiggles]

Trickle skill
Let me see if this pistol will fit in mouth
Oh, it fits snug
The dick suck was amazing, really
It's a crazy feeling to be in a girl's lips
Gurgles spit. I swear, this world's shit
Needs to stop rotating
Everyone on that shit like optional saving
Such an awesome occasion
6 by 2, there. Now you got my coffin arrangements
Matter fact, just burn me
All I needs some laughter.. & some acid for journey
Everyone acts they like they have magic for worry
But when you're breathing in the morgue, I bet your plastic is blurry
I mean it's all down hill anyways after you're thirty
You know, natural occurrence. Only caskets are lurking

[Mr. J]

Maybe that's why I'm a different person
I laugh when it worsens and cry at the curtains
window pane...I think I get it
I guess that makes me a mental midget
I'm narcissistic so I'm twisted
I wonder if those percocets are working
DO YOU REALLY FEEL ME!?!? it's sick but I'm smirking
When she said I didn't talk enough...
I bought some Chuck Taylors and continued conversing
with them you get dollars and a footlong
for me its like a Submarine submerging..
what's the difference between Babel & Babble On?
Cook with the breakfast channel on..
that's I'm cracking her up like egg whites
fornicate whenever them eggs right..
you wanted some OJ with your eggs...RIGHT?!?
watch her gasp as I'm choking her
thats why I like eggs at your rate of toasting her
Did I say exaggerate toasting her..
I need anger management..I said over easy
but Ill take it with the open buffet that overeats me
I'm at the top where their supposed to keep me
I like these posts that we are posting weekly..

[Wise Wiggles]

Yeah you're motion meets me half way, I'm deeply passed blazed
Wondering how to make it up this evening's cascade
My breathing's trash lately
Garbage disposal lungs, just full of fucking junk
I jumped up and something clunked
Stuck in mental quicksand substance funk
Man I wish I had the luck of some
Who sucked the fun out the public bum?
Trying to stay cool and calm under this crushing sun
Supposed to move on, brush it off like nothing's done
it's fucking dumb, I don't know how to function now
This clown is shutting down, tricycle broken
Heart in freezer, icicles forming, I can freestyle enormous
& pile the corpses, single file the sword slit
Barn party tonight.. might just go wild & torch it
All the baby's look the same but OMG that newborn child is
Horrendous, I want to take to the park, put it on a bench & leave
Ben's a sleeze ball bucket motherfucking ass disease in a can
Blood must be sacrificed to continue feeding the land
Saw the tree of life in a clam shell
I sawed that shit in half, the sand fell
Towards a different path, feel something like immortal spittin wrath
I think they crushed the portal, no slipping back
The gorgeous image stabs me, ten times over kill
Don't need to get too high, cuz Ben flys sober, chill
Placing in orders to see a dead guy's motor filled
it's just so brutal, shits hurting me
It'll pump forever, fuels eternally

[Mr. J]

I'm irked by impulse & flattery
Making it hurt, assault & battery
humane anatomy. plutonium grill
pandoras box open then sealed
coasting appeal, riding in neutral
a decade late and an unused pill
the matrix needed a blooper reel
Bloodhound hostile..shoot to kill
Cujo used to feel like Old Yeller
another untold story I told better
tell the young g's easy I'm a go getter
word to R Kelly
get the bars ready

been told i have a problem with things-that-aren't-tangible.
like santa's home.
i knew-that'e-never-lived in the north pole.
and that my parents had told at least one lie,
Or More.
it's no wonder i woke up on christmas morning and found Old Coal
..in my stocking.
it was shocking.
mommy n daddy wondered why-i was sobbing.
they told me if i sinned that's what god brings.
i told them i have-to-go-potty n escaped out the window,
'til they caught me.
i said "get off me.
you shouldn't be pursuing me i thought you didn't want me."
they came Home|wiped my tears|n replaced the Coal with chocolate-Covered Coffee Beans.
it was all that they had to offer me.
but i liked the taste|shared them with(my)siblings and pretty soon i had them bouncing off the walls with me.
my parents tried calming me.
they said 'we 'ave to go to grandma's n you can't have any candy bars,
cuz you've already had chocolate. n based on yer behavior we think that you've had enough of it."
at the time i thought that was the dumbest shit.
but i knew grandma had super nintendo,
n i-would-do-any-thing-in-order-da-get-it.. and so would my siblings.

[Pharaohs Army]

..donno my own Mission.
hypocritically self-critical until i'm sickened.
medicine delivered,lacking empathy towards my liver.
tell me why you will never forgive 'er|all she wanted to do was love you.
continually spittin droppin shit like i'm Muzzle.
finger on the trigger of a bomb like i'm Muslim.
..intuitively literal too mechanic to be figurative 'r visceral.
..self-realization that "braggadocio"is a "bad Pinocchio".
my e-go had'n overdose and now it's comatose.
a lonely Rose placed on my grave by Those who originally opposed the sharing 'v my poems 'n prose.
the purpose 'v which was to inspire bendingby those who don't.
..a retired veteran who tried lamenting the murder he wrote.
trying da regain his sanity by destroying 'is earliest quotes,, 'n trying ta sustain his family by purchasing oats.
while en-lightened tricksters poke Holes in the merchant's boat
frothing the ocean withthe bursted hull.
no loss,the populace?-- didn't want the goods anymore they weren't good-any more.
and no one took the wreckage frm the shore|they jst left it there forever-more.
even the poor wanted no part of the manufactured lore..
the masochistic merchant indifferent that 'is manuscript was torn.

[Pharaohs Army]

I can't do this every morn.
Well
maybe I can because I've been doing this since I was born.
A medicine man he brought me fluid-- in a gourd.
He said "drink up.
I think you'll like this stuff."
It's a hip-hop drink. It will make your writing-not-suck."
I said "You better shut your mouth.
What kind of medicine man comes to my house?,
with a gourd of liquid espousing
that it can cure my hip-hop."
.."This-one!" he said. "Now hurry before I get caught.
Everyone in the industry must drink one."
.."This Sucks!"
.."Ya think,son?"
"Yes
i think-it-does."

It went on like that for hours.
I finally took a swig thinking I have nothing to lose,
but I Could-gain special powers.
.He left-i-let-it-set fer hours.
I even took a shower.
Put on my Eddie Bauer.
When I drank it-it tasted like water but several hours later
my mouth felt sour.
I thought maybe it's kicking in.
I better get a pen and see if I'd write sicker-than-I'd-been.
Sure-enuff the potion was effective.
I'd share it with you bt-it's Persa-nul.
"F"it. I quit writing went to the sofa with french fries and ketchup.
There was some Netflix I hadta catch up--
some regular episodes and a few specials.

I never saw the medicine man again.
At least I gave him a list of many-mainstream artises address.

[Wise Wiggles]

It's a funny notion, enslavement, to notifications upon this ocean of pavement. Some don't even notice the fakeness. The potion is great. Sip every motorist, racing to social engagements. Coma detainments. Everyone full of the tamed bliss. Corporations cornering behavior into potent displacement. I'm kind of bored of the chains. Sworn to containment. Continuous longing. Forced to attain it. It's all more of the same. I want cordial strangeness instead my mornings are aimless. Who portioned the greatness? Such a chore to be grateful in this corpse of a haven. I wonder what was important to cave men? I've seen Atlantis morph into rain drips & the garden of Eden in floral arrangements but it isn't enough from this Oregon plaintiff

[Mr. J]

I only watch when you orally take it
Quarantined basement, orderly faces
Peep out this quarterly makeshift ..
bordering ancient abortion debates. shit
Murdering kids and supporting my patients
QwarterZ impatient at the door to a spaceship
your lack of faith is disturbing & unfortunate..
fakers... haters of the worsening variety
I'm on the edge straight up cursing society
Giving birth violently. or maybe just quietly
I don't know maybe rap is just a lie to me
life is science that tries to believe there's a being higher than me

[Wise Wiggles]

Or what about the oral display we're forced into saying
These horrible praises, I want to portal escape it
Back to the normal forecast for Portland, it's raining
This fragile sense of self is a porcelain casing
We're all fortunate gargoyles beneath embrace of light
But the shade of night makes us race to life
Made to fight. Bad fortunes all my age ignites
It's all rage defined in steps like staging of wine
Mazing my why's.. Moving like that movie Cube,
Changing the sides. This way is benign, fate is just blind.
Guess I'm in it for the long haul & occasional sign
Life's a drug. I take it in lines
Take it with a smile. You know, the fatal design

[Mutilate]

Anybody got something to say
mad cause I don't fuck with the gays?
Well would you suck a gun in your face
I'll kick your nuts in the grave. Oxymoron.
I'm stumbling in grace
mumbling "ok"
Fumbling a blade
to go & cut a rib cage.
Slice it out, have your tongue on display
What month is it? May.
Whatever it may be I'm psycho and crazy
Spit like an M 80 to suckas who play me
I go bananas and ape
Put hammers in face
damage your fate
I'm eating Hannibles plate
Is he a cannibal, wait.

[Wise Wiggles]

my man furry bear nuts telling me god needs to hurry
We're fucked.. I hear voices too, it's surely rare stuff
Paired up with forces beyond our vision
Life's a goner's mission. It's all ponds & ripples
Never seen a monster civil, everyone wants acquittal
I want to chomp the nipple, off with nibbles
I'm an alien absorbing all the saucer trickles
in the clouds I see large cliterous, y'all see sausage pickles
I'm the opposite of hardened brittle, I'm the darkest symbol
I meditate doing cookies so my conscious swivels
I speak in an astronomical mirage of riddles
Obnoxious strippers giving me looks
Coughing epiphanies inside chimney soot

[Pharaohs Army]

i saw an Indie Film
under the influ-ence of Indica.
does it really matter which One?
it was None in Particular
had no Reason to be Critical
but that didn't stop me from Leaving the Theater.
my friends and i Wanted To Choose,
our Own Adventure
we Thought It'd Be Cool.
although it's something outSide Of Our Group that No One Would Capture.
Oh well.
we Made r own Plot.. ..smoked more Pot.
Each of us were a character.
we looked for some Con-flict.
nothing too serious as none of us wanted to be come Convicts.
there was nothing inde pendent aBout it choices were made in a group Format.
usually there was consensus
but sometimes "what to do Next"-
-came down to Shouting
my best friend dropped his phone but then 'e found it.
