Broach
(My inbox looks clean cut this time but…this city, that city..like where are you right now? Better off in a coffeehouse or a grocery store nowadays probably)
Growing
Inside those
Spider
Walls of
Emerald
Gemstone the
Broach was
Hunting
Down
Deserts with its
Tide pool
Fangs for
Coastlines
Ready to
Paralyze
My
Heart.

Jerk
(Eric Tagg - Living Off The Love)
(I was talking to this sistah: she initiated; I don’t initiate nothing…geez everybody in your family looks like a baby doll; black children of the corn speaking of uh this is my graphic btw)
Everyone has their own internal jerk
And so we did the same thing to another woman
That the bartender did to us…that we didn’t like it
I did it differently but same principle
I know for a fact I didn’t do it to
Extract power but to protect myself unknown variables…
I don’t know what to call her…that’s who I should’ve...

Intimacy
(CHAKA KHAN What Cha' Gonna Do for Me) this is not my graphic but…timely I guess
Wierdo was tired of them chicks
Bumping us around on that 1st floor;
So we investigated the 2nd floor to find
Home among more reasonable women
With mostly pool on their mind and
We got close with the Bartender who was
Old enough to be mother; now
She was trying to school me on some shit…
Conversations for days;
“Don’t let your Mother tell you who to
Give your bleep to,”
Challenging my career decisions;
“Where’s that gonna take ya?”

My ex-boss tried to make me the outpost...
“I wanna know whose coming in late from lunch”
So he says “you’re gonna be on phone detail for a while;
Log people in/out and report back to me immediately via email” and
Occasionally he’d give me (bleep $ bill) waving money crazy uh
All the loan officers were men just 1 woman: Hispanic,
Women did admin or loan processing, 1 marketer whatever..

He was so shrewd in business affairs;
Very human when it came to his people-
Women were different
More class or at least more discretion usually
Im not saying nothing was going on but;
Nothing obvious except 1 loan officer in particular
She was like that and he was letting her so I don’t know…
She owed him thousands;
She’s never going to be able to pay that back (no shame)
Whole office was talking about it…but I hit him
Up for money once….this here
Chicken head I was trying to do something with..I don’t what but
I swore my world...
