scientificin’ writing, and chiefn

sorry been writing fiction lately
I had a dream, I had won both the Pulitzer and the Nobel prizes in the same year, and I was on TV talking to some mother fucka who obviously knew my name for he recanted, “Dr. Torrance Stephens.” And I interrupted “ Torrance, T, or All-mi-T.” He continued.
“Torrance, don’t know if this has ever happened before, what do u say about it.”

I think in my dream he had a beard – red and glasses with Mel Kipper hair. None the less, the interview continued.

“And your answer?”
“Well, I’m honored main, and I thank my family and folks, god by nature. But for real though main, I don’t give a fuck. The checks nice and shit but a nigga rather be with his family, scientificin’ writing, and chiefin’”

“But certainly, both the Pulitzer and Nobel for literature in poetry, drama and fiction – unheralded. Sure you are esteemed.”

“Thanks again, but I’m not steamed, I mean it’s cool, an honor like I indicated previously, A nigga just aint excited, aint like my 7-8 year old baseball team winning with the last at bat. It aint main and a nigga just happy main.”

“So what is it from here, I mean dang”, he said with the incantation of a foreigner from Europe who had learned to speak English in a school.

“Main, I don’t know…naw, check that do I qualify for president I’ll do that. Am nigga I know and some assorted folk would vote for me main.”

“President, are you serious you , you are a writer?”

“You wanted to say black didn’t you nigga?”

“You are serious?”

“Yep, and tight too, when was the last time you had a president conversant and at least three languages which did not include Spanish, let alone a scientist – i'm the anti Bill Frist main.”

“Back to you writing?”

“Yawl saltines always trying to change the subject…….


I woke up then. Made me realize I don’t desire fame ‘cause I don’t want to be interviewed like I’m famous or something, when I could be with my family, scientificin’ writing, and chiefin’”.
