I need a slap
in the face
from a strong black woman
willing to accommodate me
as a kind of sacrificial villain
on behalf of my fucked
up race, so I can
hold my head up high
and display my face
like the man
taking ownership
of everyone's wrongs.
I would run out the door
straight into the street so fast
before the big red hand print
could fade
and I'd say
LOOK LOOK
I GOT WHAT
I DESERVED
SO SHOULD
YOU MOTHER
FUCKER
and uh oh.
probably some cops
come questioning
everybody, and book
her for doing it
I don't wanna say
she gets shot
this is already too grisly
a turn. I will fight
fight
fight
to free her though,
after what she did to
or for me.
Maybe then
we could call it even
