Lee Bennett, III: Metafor You

Virgo born in seven- tember 1977 on Earthen planet / Extracted from suspended animation liquefied state and solidified like granite / In the "real world" / Spirits of all sorts visited him at various points / With deep ebony rooted soul he was anointed / Appointed to place his soul in paper pulp, canvassed screen / Cataloging dialogue that takes place in mindscapes and daydreams / He leaned towards art fine, but his spirit caught up with his mind and fell in line / With lines that were free versed and unrehearsed around the eight or ninth grade / Soon the desire for such random renditions began to fade / But ebony rooted soul could not be muted and was awakened from slumber summer before grade twelve / Through soul spelunking, introspective thinking made ill things well / He’d tell of things of which he had no proof / excerpt from bio
