Poems must be written
niggas acknowledged
in poems—good niggas bad ass niggas
…Gerald’s smooth chocolate chest kissable to my lips…
…Aaron’s fist like a hammer broke my ego…
Poems must be political about war about niggas at war
Your nigga, my nigga must be in a poem.
Niggas rest in graves, live in poems
Your black eye must be in a poem.
The train you pulled at the spa, must be pulled through a poem
When you pull your dick out of an asshole
pull a poem out too
As you deep throat, gag on a poem
If you’re tipping strippers
turn their neon g-strings
into haikus—like this
Full neon g-string
trembling before my brown eyes
my mouth opens wide
Turn a haughty nigga who would not have you
into Japanese verse
Lick the ink off his skin
He at home thinking that tickling
in his ass is the crabs
but it’s you casting spells with your
ink, paper, and tongue.
Your trip to the postcard pretty hills
must be captured in verse
Write sonnets to you licking sperm
off the bookstore floor
Make them worthy of English Lit 400
Leave lines for the baldheaded Profs
to dissect into iambic whatever
When he wrote
Jackhammers all over my ass
was meant to be a metaphor for his migraines not sex
Naw Professor he meant DICK!
I was one of his jackhammers
Let your poems spark debates and fistfights
pay the salaries of English teachers
make a young nigga’s dick hard
and make an old man remember
when he used to write poems
and write poems all night.
