micah bournes – there goes the neighborhood كلمات اغاني
“would you like some more water?”
“naw, i’m good.”
“that’s not what your parole
officer said
did you register when you moved into
the neighborhood?”
i couldn’t decide if he was a cold
racist asking a racist question
or a friendly racist telling a racist
joke
either way, i was not amused
but i laughed
as the awkward chuckle p-ssed through
my lips
it tasted like the eucharist
like blood in my mouth
my stomach churned as i imagined it
would if i ate human flesh
i felt like judas and christ
betraying myself then hanging in
silence as i’m crucified
i wanted to prove him wrong
i wanted to stand up and list off
my
credentials in words with more
syllables than his
simple mind could take
i wanted to prove him right
i wanted to stand up and fire off
hyphenated profanities
inventing new conjugations
for four letter words like
the dumbest n-gga he done eva heard
i wanted to prove him wrong
i wanted to leave and come back with
the black elite. a fleet of the
sharpest
darkest intellectuals he’s ever seen
leaving tips large enough to buy out
this
business twice over
i wanted to prove him right
i wanted to leave and come back
with thugs and hoodrats
with chains guns and bats
burn this place to ash
but what did i do?
i laughed
then sat there silently
then ran home and wrote poetry?
then screamed it out like i’m not a
coward?
like i didn’t cry in front of my
computer screen?
like i wasn’t waiting for my two white
friends to speak up for me?
like i stood up for myself?
like i did something?
like i fought a revolution?
like it wasn’t funny?
like i didn’t laugh?
but i did
and it tasted like the eucharist
like blood in my mouth
and i swallowed it
