Gender 2

 (I wasn’t her type and sometimes chicks will try to date you just because they got nothing better to do but I’m not in any type of space for anything serious and lawyer checked me with; “I’m not going to let you date me any ole kinda way.” Aight, yellow light; thought my heart was gonna stop; make a liar out of me. People did casually date but it played out offensively to her. New found respect for jurisdiction; hung for a while but…)

Gender 3
We looked like triples in  
Attire
Black
Leather dress jackets,
Jeans
But I was the  
Only  
Doc Marten-they had on
Some kind of leather
Books;
Tanya and I both (in between)
Had short
Fades,
(pretty boy Floyd-
I wore make up and
Earrings but she didn’t)
The other sistah (a forgiving stud something like “a loving top”; written up already)
Was bright with a
Ponytail down her
Back and always
Had a cigar; she would  
Come over to
Light for her  
Occasionally and the
4th sistah-was a misfit
(both Tanya’s friends)
But uh
Nothing was really going on obviously,
You would’ve thought it was-
It should’ve been…
3 of us were comparable
Why not? I don’t know
Since we’re all together
Hitting this very black, very urban scene
Together…official juke music all that
Very polarized-
Each scene has its own
Inner workings-
Same pulse for you to
Figure out that
Rhythm
Never seen nothing like it;
Fems and Studs and that’s it
So nobody would really bother
Approaching you, if they couldn’t tell
What you were…but at the end of the night
We were comparing notes and I came up with
0…maybe they were approaching women…
I don’t know, on the wall all night with just
Conversation from an older school stud.
