-------------------------------------------
Whose mood are you in
now
Who matters and who
doesn’t
What can you have that
entitles you
Or includes you,
excludes you, or
Outright exempts you?
On behalf of which god
or goddess
Do you act when under
this spell?
I know of the things you
sell
Merciless and a little
insane
Who else will you ever
tell?
Do you still cling to
the memory?
Are you a perfect childhood,
On the verge of maturity
and acting good?
Why is it still a
mistake?
Do you give or do you
take?
What makes you curl in
like
A spider doused in acid?
Ghosts or racial
segregation?
Indoctrination or
manipulation?
The face of your brother’s
is a beast
Upon which table do you
feast?
are you still loving?
Could you be lovable,
and could you love me?
Would you be
supremacist, extremist,
Or racist when you touch
me?
Could you fingers meet
my skin
And show me what they
always mean?
Can they dictate the
tongue
Of skin-rushing anxiety
and heat?
are you still amenable
to attraction,
in other words
can you knock me off my
feet?
