That's a Rap

Who inspires me? Someone new all the time. Lately I've found myself listening to Eminem. A talent from the ghetto. A rap god to many. To me, he's an inspiration. As simple as that. I've imagined myself meeting him and what I might say. But when and where would this ever happen? I have nothing in common with this guy. I would never attend his concert. Still, the conversation would go something like this...

A crowded hall. He's escorted through quickly. I'm standing against the wall as he passes.

Me: Congradulations!

He stops and turns.

E: Excuse me? Congradulations? For what?

Me: (pause) On a well played hand. 

E: What the fuck does that mean? A well played hand. 

Me: Well (pause), let me put it this way... 

You took grapes and you made wine, 

You took rusty metal and you made it shine,

You took a life and made it sublime,

You made a guy like me start a rhyme... 

Congradulations, you inspired me.

Yea, I think I'd be pretty happy with that.
