Cultural Appropriation
I stole your story, dude,
and I can’t say I’m sorry.
See…
Well this is hard…
See…
Ok-it-lets-me-be-in-a-part-of-me-that-I-cain’t-not-not-be-in-and-there-ain’t-no-other-way-ok-Ok-OK?!
Ok.
There.
I think I fin’ly said it,
e’en if I did
hafta make
a double negative do a triple-take
to almos’
pull it off.
And don’t think I ain’t grateful jes’ because I’m not.
I will be,
someday,
when the part of me that walks has learnt to talk.
