A Poem by CharlyeMonroe
"

Number 3 from The Knockouts

"
Eagles and cranes on planet earth
Catch feelings in heartbeat

“Why do you think it’s there?”
Terra incognita
Pink stains on my black skin
For caliber hours
Till take off
Touchdown field with a landing strip
Sideways
Today and some of that s**t the President was talking about
“Tell you when I get there,” he says
“Take your time,” he says
“See G-D”
Currently

Swiftly catching on
This isn't music and we are not a band
Been a little like that
When you are down
Nature is not sentimental

Now nurture is in a panic and ain't that just a fancy word for saying fucked up?
Stretched legs out in front of me to see if the slipper fits

As is the parlance of our times
Cinderella's killer set
Fingers playing

Bang call me
Flashlight tag seems like a great idea
Faces flush with the stuff
No rush
When enough is enough she squirms, screams, squirts
