Creamy Crack - The Plight of the Up and Coming Black Woman

Like frothy, slick cream cheese

spread on a dome with a spatula-like knife

A miracle to take all pain away

All pre-conceived notions of

 poverty and lack of social grace

Gone

But only if that miracle does not

over-stay its welcome

Too much of a good thing, is a

terrible thing

A fall-out could be a horrible thing

For a happy woman is a relaxed

woman with hair to match

Timing is everything

And creamy crack can be more than

 just a woman's meal

Enough to cause a heart attack

If her head ever sees a lack

. hahahaha ! ... i am an absolute fan of your mastery over tone and subject matter ... timing is indeed everything ... and your timing in poetry is tremendous and phenomenal ... and awe-inspiring ... and that definition of a happy woman ... made me spill my soup ... lol ... :D ... (i got my head shaved twice in 2008, both times when my mum lost hair because of chemo, but it was so liberating that after reading those lines about matching hair, i am tempted to liberate myself for the third time but then i guess too much of a good thing is bad) ... :D ...
