That black grime underneath the cafeteria stove,
you ask if that’s a relative of mine?
You say, “sorry for patting you on the back
cuz I don’t know if the lashes have healed up yet.”
But relax! It’s just a fucking joke
when you say, “you do not act black enough, nigger.”
You want to rest
your head on these big black
mammy lips of mine
then call me a gorilla faced mother fucker?
“Oh, just laugh. It is a fucking joke!”
when you say,
“you
do not
act black enough,
nigger.
You
do not
act black enough.”
Go ‘head, as(xe)k that one more thing?
“Why don’t you tell me to go stand in front of some Home Depot,
or get a degree in hopping walls?
Come on, man! Burn me back! Throw me to the hands of La Migra.
Beat those whites to the vitriol, and give me exactly what I deserve.”
This hurts us all
But you’re just so funny.
Ha ha ha.
So fucking funny
(that) I am
crying.
