LAST SISTA 

melanin on double 

chocolate chip 

you sure are poppin’ 

& flavalicious sista,

boys swallow 

intimidated by 

the tough curve of 

your hips & intelligence 

sista, they’re shook 

when you claim 

your space, the white 

girls call you mean 

& ugly black sista,

you smile like 87th 

on a saturday night, 

the southside 

stops to hear you 

laugh sista
