When the shotgun questioned the boys
heart it asked nigga child did you sass
your mother did you do your chores last
night before bed before being asked
before the mule that pays the bills got
home from second shift
are you a good kid where’s your daddy
Darius did you run him off did you cry
too much eat too much did you weep over
your father’s footprints did you hold
your wilting mother while she wept did
you ride him in prison did you look for
him when he left a good kid would have
looked for him Darius if you’re a good
kid
I won’t peel your flesh like the skin of
a plum well drill through the oil of
your 13-year old chest boy if you’re a
good kid…
