PORTRAIT OF THE YUNG NEGRO ARTIST @ 21 & ALIVE / JUST BARELY

forgot to moisturize my feet / for four days straight /i say forgot / like a prayer / mutter it incessantly at the 8 bus stop / miss the bus / say forgot like a prayer / forget my name / forget to clock in at work & instead land / No Where / in this empty / i still miss buses / i use uber so i can feel wanted again / in a No Where, i am picked up / i ooze coconut oil on my driver’s seats / they know better than to talk to me / know i could siren my own damn self / to sleep / i’m making rosewater today & spraying it on my boxers / i give my lovers herbs from the pockets of my leather jacket / blk ophelia / rosemary for remembrance / lavender in my wigs / shaved all my hair again / christened myself anew/ everyday / a new name / i let it fall through my lips / pour one out / there is a shade for all of the me’s / i mean to be / i stole most of them / from the drugstore / i leave most of myself/ on other people’s foreheads / they only want / to wipe me off / i am still so angry about the way we treated lil kim / there is glitter on my face /

& we are both blonde today. men don’t like the scent of me.

they only want / to wipe me off / so i’m crying / again / so it’s monday / queen / bitch / pt. iii / we know it ain’t cute /

it ain’t meant to be
