You Know Who You Are
If they got a twang
they say momma.
If they broke, like a record
they say momma.
They are too proud.
They are scribes,
with trickling pens
and trembling men.
They claim,
to have been plucked
a little too early.
Have it all
where it don't count,
and go chunky dunkin'
in the sun.
Raising their wrists in triumph,
bellowing into the abyss.
These white girls,
do the most.
Do they say momma
because of love?
Do they say momma
to avoid truth?
Secrets are vital
to white women.
So I will never know.
I do know,
whatever white girls say goes.
