Buggin' On The Crackerjack

(click pic)

My art, music, singing on the subject of crack panic, as personally witnessed in Gardena, California.

Lexicon:


Rockette: female tweeker (crack user)
Rock house: establishment involved in the sale of crack cocaine
High beams on: wide-eyed expression of tweeker under the influence
Bugging: frenetic, spasmotic, bug-like movements of a human body while amped, juiced up
Crackerjack: crack
The Jarhead: head-in-jar effect of crack
Piper/ puffer: person so experienced that they can make a crack pipe out of anything at hand, from ink pen to toiletpaper roll to empty disposable lighter
Carpet patrol: tweeker's desperate foraging in carpet fibers for imagined slivers of crack spilled in carpet
Ghost busting: same, also called 'crumbing'
Fiending: going mad looking for crumbs
Thirsty: same
Crack attack: same
