milk and eggs
this girl
got bold eyes
and she hide them
behind cool shades.
this girl cool.
this girl,
she look at the men
and she look at the women, too
this girl don't care that they see
they see black
they see sky looking back
see their own ideas
don't see them bold eyes
but they know
they feel that
in their skin
the small of their back
shoot through them
that look
those eyes
bold eyes
this girl
she smile
she walk on
a thousand adulteries of the heart
twelve of the mind
milk and eggs
back home for tea
