I can't wait to see that.

One of his video shorts that he made back in the day was him in an incarcerated situation reciting poetry through the tiny window in the door... he made at least two in that setting, is pretty interesting and evocative.

I liked Mr's Robinson's neighborhood, he had so many great characters!

Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason --
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...
My land - lord ...
