Shallow Poet (tribute to DEF Poet, Poetri)

Poetic Princess



I heard a poem

Can you believe-

A political poem about

Got damn Krispy Kreme!

I sit here on my fat ass

Wishin I had

Two Devil’s food donuts

Maybe a sour crème one too

OOH! One of those crème filled!

Writing sorry ass poetry about love

Not knowing about the struggle

Just complainin about how

I love

And lost

And loved again

And lost

And lost

And loved

Him, him & him

My only struggle is if I have

Enough time in my week to spend time

With ALL of them

My shallow poems

About sex and how sad I was

When my ex left me

Boo fuckin hoo

I can’t find the words

To write about the political

Or communal problems I face daily

Or throughout my life

There are none

I am a non-voter

A suburban urban white girl

With a love

For hip hop but can rarely relate

Directly

I can make it my own

But it aint about me

Me

Me

Me

I probably could write about the president

But it would probably go like this

I’m in love

And this man loves me too

He strokes my head when we’re together

And he kisses me when I’m through

I’m under his desk

In a new blue dress

He’s on the phone with Sadaam

And I’m relieving his stress

His cigar smoke

Aromatically fills the air

I feel his pulse quicken

Just watch my hair!!



I don’t know the struggle

Looking at Krispy Kreme

Politically

I do think it’s out to get me

Fat

Diabetic

Because a motha fucker like me

Can’t say no to a fresh & hot glazed

Round thing on an early Sunday morning

SO I suppose I will

Save myself the

Embarrassment

Avoid looking like a fool

And I’ll just write

My emotional

Bullshit

So you can think to yourself

This shallow poet

Needs to slow her roll

Mmmm! Does Krispy Kreme sell jellyrolls?
