Embarrassed; Speak their language-Done Yet Here Lies Erotica
She
We
They
US
Them
Those
Women
Mixed
Whoever
Elizabeth
Was
Everybody at today’s rate
wants a special pass
(exceptionalism will get you in trouble)
To do something
Somewhere
(Not with me; you ain't)
That wasn’t my thing
Yadda yadda yadda
And stuffy
Wasn’t really her thing either
But situation
Was pulling for
Something that came
To pick me up
For a hip-hop play
And hesitant
Was rolling her eyes
A little bit older
(She was a little younger
Coming at me: grown)
So she had
Some different
Kinda shyt going on
Although we went
She was hyped;
It took a lot
To get a reaction
Out of me
Emotional deflect
Half the time,
But uhm
Judgmental
Was watching her
Well as long as
She’s having fun
Trying to validate
Her blackness
And my company
Didn’t really help
We weren’t black
Enough
In the areas
She wanted it in
( )
Didn’t want to be
A party pooper but yay
At the end of the night
She walks me to the car
“I’mma run back in
And holla at my girl a minute”
Now realistically she was gone
Long enough that they could’ve
Been blowing each other
(She was yellow like her too)
I’m all “whatever” to the radio
So she took me home
We continued to date
Like there hadn’t been
A significant glitch
In something already
Distant like
100 light years across
A spiral galaxy;
Milky way-
Barred from
Everywhere
Except
Within those
Negligible jets
On that
Orion
Night wing
Distinguishable from courting;
Yes, you courted formally back then)
And delayed reaction
Had to let her know
That we knew;
“You know it was foul-she would understand that word
(we’re done let’s not pretend anymore)
How you left me
In the car for that prolonged
Amount of time
While you hollered at yo home girl
/Sometimes you gotta talk to a bitch
In their language/
To which she replied
“You waited too long
To bring it to me”
Come again?
The translation:
“Your emotions have been
Nullified by the amount of time
It took you to speak up.”
{It was going to be some shit with her either way- just by looking at her}
(Fondest memory
She once engraved my name
In large letters on the beach
No idea what we were doing
Long enough for her to do that;
Probably messing around
In my doomsday prepper bag
Before seeing what she was up to
Grant it my name is only 4 letters-
Which was romantic for a minute
But you know
People have motives-
She caught me
In between the movement)
