The US is Talking About It Too

(Supremes-let yourself go)
My Mother  
Was over  
At my place  
"Damn  
Baby  
Your place  
Looks good"
We got it together  
In 2018  
Unpacked boxes  
After 5 years,  
Some decorating,  
Feng Shui-ing  
Revamping me  
And I saw myself  
Without having to  
Look past, over  
Or around  
Anything  
Else  
This year  
Fairly minimalist  
Personality though  
(Save, save, save from here forward  
We had to make a point;  
Fingers crossed on financial recovery  
2019)  
“Well, that’s what you  
Come off of”  
She said…  
Well its funny how  
A lot of us  
“Come off of”  
A middle-class lifestyle  
That’s getting harder  
To keep up  
Especially  
After your Daddy dies  
He takes his credit card  
With him  
And we ain’t trying  
To replace him either  
With all of these  
Skyrocketing    
Quarter of a million dollar  
Condos going up  
And uh everybody  
With an ounce  
Of working class  
Wherewithal  
Is Talking  
Who the fuck is moving in those?  
Don’t ask me what the fuck  
White mainstream America  
Is doing now  
{Call them up and ask them}  
(They overbuilt the hospitals  
If ya ask me)  
Only a small portion ie section  
Being occupied-  
Virtually  
Empty buildings  
You gotta hope nobody  
And nothing    
Is going to dash in on you  
From nowhere;  
Kinda scary sometimes  
Walking them  
Corridors  
Karate  
Chopping  
Your ass.  
   
(You gotta be a genius not to catch it)
