serious.
By Kyrah Jayne
i was supposed tuh
be on my way home
instead i held a joint
tight between my lips
and watched
the flame
of his lighter lick the end
til it burned
i took a drag
and blew smoke
in his face
all cool
like momma wasn’t
gon beat my ass
he smiled
the chip in his front tooth
pressed so hard
against his bottom lip
i thought he’d bleed
he asked me
why you look so serious
so i smiled
and then we was laughing
and then we was kissing
and then we was fucking
it be that way with us
his bedroom is our stage
and we play like we in love
bow and curtsy when we finished
then go back to strangers
don’t get me wrong
i like it like that
he the only one
who don’t take shit
too serious.
