Vain

Freestyle Poems

White, Tight V- Neck Tee,
Rubber Band Bracelet on Black Chocolate,
Blue-Grey Men’s Haynes – Black Elastic
Waist Band.
Cotton Winter Sweats Placed Just Below the
High, Round Buttocks,
Sized to Hide and Reveal.
Red and Black Splashes on High- Topped
Addidas with Red Soles.
Black Caesar Hair with Criss-Cross
Cuts to Nape.
I-Phone in Perfect Earlobe Where a
Small Diamond Once Flashed.
The Stance of A Thug Betrayed By Her Voice
And The Press of Her Tiny Breast Without A Bra.
Dark Candy Colored Skin So Soft It Glistens
In The Beholder’s Eye.
One Ill-Faded Blue Tattoo
And Nothing But Attitude,
That’s All.
