black eyes

Skinny skeleton, prancing down eye mall
percussive bony ass shakes to lil wayne
you got two black eyes and a mouthful
of broken teeth

Two black eyes, blacker than the blackest girls on the lawn, squatting in chairs

They see the stoned skeleton, holler at her
bitch you think you so fly? You vermin, you a janky bug

She rotates quick, shades off, fingernails drawn. Screams a word this observer can't type

The darkest word
The word of oppression
A word that hurts more than two black eyes ever could

I watch the white girl suffering
While deciding
How violence
Fixed her mind
Hating forever
