2/30 Perfect Date

Perfect Date

You are more comfortable going on dates, that never leave your home.
The smell of nag champa, so thick you can barely see yourself in the mirror.

Planning a date that will last till the early morning.
You wish he would offer to take you to breakfast
But he is always busy, leaving by sunrise

Lonely in your bed you sleep til midday.
on nights he is too busy to screw you, you french kiss on dance floors at night clubs
Girlfriends watch you leave with strangers
soon to be given nicknames like
36
speed O
stripper
cool breeze
white boy
You smoke too much weed to remember names
you remember events or attributes

36
the physical therapist 12 yrs older than you
married, with a baby on the way.
it's easier when you don't call them by name.
you can't feel guilty for what you did to his family

You feel shame for who you are
embarrassed for what you have done
what you have excepted

The water in the shower is just not hot enough
to clean your filthy skin
you have been touched in all the wrong places
by all the wrong people
with and without your permission.

you are most comfortable with date that begin and end at your home
but you dream of car rides and valet
A waitress taking your order
A man looking into your eyes
footsie under the table
a dessert shared
A walk under the night
an over sized jacket on your shoulders

You don't believe you deserve better.
you pray
you fast
you read books
by Iyanla or Queen Afua
waiting for a healing

So until that day
you are satisfied with nag champa and candles
and a dinner date with no dinner
starting at 10...at your place

Election day. 2020 Brain dump  We won't even know the winner today. We have at least a week for that. I will focus on staying black. You see that is the thing, no matter who wins, I will still be a child of an enslaved African. A child of American Slavery. No matter who wins that fact will be ignored, the proven damage that this has caused will be ignored. The jim crow laws, the KKK, the burning crosses, the fathers that never made it home, the poverty all of it will be ignored. No matter who wins Black men will be seen as the enemy and the problem. NO MATTER who wins the LGBTQI agenda will outweigh the Black agenda. This election had no benefit for ME directly that I was able to see. No one spoke directly to me, my people, or my community. I think both Red and Blue are racist, sexist, classist, and anti-black.  Both Red and Blue will deny White Supremacy, will deny the hate and fear of black skin so fuck'em both. I just had to get this off my chest you know and No!! I am not a

I'm better left alone

I’m a better person when I am alone. I think I underestimated how influenced by others I have been, like my whole like. I remember a report card from my child hood. Tamara is very talkative and is easily influenced by others….. That was the only comment I remember. I do not remember anyone doing anything or talking to me about it. I am not sure when I noticed that it was a problem, but I know I did. That is the point I made sure that everything I did was because I wanted to do it. Through the years I may have done a few things I didn’t want to do, I either had no choice, no awareness or was possibly forced. Social media was bringing all of that back. I was able to influence by so many people and so many things and situations. I think I was to confused, I wasn’t brave, I was shame to have a different opinion or no opinion at all. I am a better person when I am alone, left to create my own reality. Left to create my own expectations, based of desires that I have from within
