I watched her fly and I loved the way
her wings were glowing so yeah I decided
to pluck at them gently of course
because if I hadn’t how would she have
distinguished herself from God so
there’s a scene in this movie right with
a black mother figure prepares an
arm’s-length
appetite for everyone in a house that
got teeth until she dies and when she
dies the first thing the family wonders
it’s damn who gonna make my plate this
Sunday or there’s this obituary
somewhere right in which the relatives
of the deceased do not mention her
hobbies or her schooling but say she
sure did make a mean pie or there’s this
black girl somewhere right who grew up
around Karl Kani wearing boys who
wouldn’t pass her the ball even when
they double teamed in a warm-up…
