Lawrence Q? MarkX, born December 20th, 1980, in Miami (Little America), Florida, is the archetype artist-philosopher for the 21st century and beyond. As colorful outside as in (both literally and figuratively speaking), this poet of the ages began his stellar trajectory at the Temple Beth Moshe Pre-School, excelling especially in the “Bim-Bum, Bim-Biddy-Bum" song. This success was followed by the early recognition of Lawrence's literary talents. Being entered into the gifted program in Kindergarten, advanced studies in Foreign Languages (grades 3-5) were followed by computers (grades 6-8) and then high-school dolphin research at MAST Academy, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Only two and a half years later, with a glutenous I.O.U. to the Feds, this prodigy wrote his first book and had completed a university degree in Psychology--the lessons from which he immediately put into practice, at only twenty years of age. Evidence of a Cluttered Mind, his trademarked method of psycho-post modernist analysis, is the self-built foundation upon which MarkX had built his acrostic castle of politically charged free-thoughts, which at times just happens to rhyme. Five volumes of infinite wisdom... Rich with life, rhythmic like quartz-crystal electro-clocks, reminiscent of the holy "Bim-Biddy-Bum," and coming soon to a book-store near you, Lawrence Q? MarkX shows us a way-out way around, a wayround back to ourselves.

IT’S ALL ABOUT ME
Written Fall, 1998 for my 12th grade English class.
Revised and Updated October 10th, 2002 for my book.

I was born in the year of the monkey; a leap year; the Olympics.
Actually, I wasn’t born around a year. A year was born around me.

My parents are conservative folks living for the day; day by day.
They are survivors of 50+ years of life; 30+ together;
25+ with my freedom fighting brother; and 21+ with this Prince.

My wife, one of many be name at that time, yet she didn’t know it,
Taught me not to look for love; let love look for me.
It just found me recently. We were in a big game of hide-and-go-seek.

My instincts taught me to fight for my rights and argue for what I believe in.

When I leave home, I don’t hope to accomplish a damn thing.
I don’t need to hope. If I put my mind to it, I can achieve it.

My imaginative friend would say that I came from a sexual episode
Between Lucky the Leprechaun and Jessica Rabbit.

I am a lover; not a fighter.

I am like a game of chess; strategically planned out.

I am Sir Lawrence Question MarkX; heir to a throne
