Bob Dylan raps on a 1986 track by Kurtis Blow
"Danny [Lanois] asked me who I’d been listening to recently, and I told him Ice-T. He was surprised, but he shouldn’t have been. A few years earlier, Kurtis Blow, a rapper from Brooklyn who had a hit out called “The Breaks,” had asked me to be on one of his records and he familiarized me with that stuff, Ice-T, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C. These guys definitely weren’t standing around bullshitting. They were beating drums, tearing it up, hurling horses over cliffs. They were all poets and they knew what was going on." — Bob Dylan, in his biography Chronicles, Volume 1As Dangerous Minds wrote, "It’s not terrible by any stretch but it is surely slight; the tracks true virtues all flow from Blow."
You can hear Dylan (sort of) rapping at the beginning of the song, and at 6:12.

Poem: [You can't see earth]
By Jack Brummet
1
You can't see earth
From the dark side of the moon
But maybe that changes
With the accelerating deceleration
Of the moon and earth.
A waning Gibbous moon
Dangles 1.3 light seconds away,
The Sea of Tranquility
A menacing sinkhole.
You can't see earth
From the dark side of the moon
But maybe that changes
With the accelerating deceleration
Of the moon and earth.
A waning Gibbous moon
Dangles 1.3 light seconds away,
The Sea of Tranquility
A menacing sinkhole.
2
The moon
And fog
Are in cahoots.
The moon
And fog
Are in cahoots.
Do our brains have a tide?

Sonnet: The green knight
By Jack Brummet
On the floor in the distance
Bercilak de Hautdesert
Battle-axe in one hand
A branch of holly in the other
Walks toward you
And asks if you want to play a gameYou swing the axe
His helmet flies
And the head tumbles down the hall
The Green Knight picks it up
And tells you to meet him
At the Green Chapel New Year's morning
For his exchange blow
The head is laughing in his arms.
