POETRY

SHOW THIS TO YOUR ‘SO CALLEDMAN
Dear Tashaya,

Why you ripped up the other letter I gave you.
Why you be playin me hard body.
When your boyfriend read the letter what did he say?
You said I was ugly?
Is that what you think about me cuz?
When I wrote you that letter the other day and I wrote Crip killer I meant to write Crip City.
Because if I write Crip killer I am saying I’m Blood and I am not a pussy.
All Bloods are pussy not disrespecting your brother.
But it’s true.
