Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
To You/Who Almost Turned/Me On
yeah.
my man.
got no place else
to go. have
to turn to myself.
child/like
am i my man.
i believe in fairy tales
(tales told by fairy men)
slow
fabricated
stories that scare.
like. today.
full
of yesterday's hide and
seek shadows, i kissed
a strange mouth out of
control. but.
strangers are
rainbow colored and
i am
color blind.
