INCOGNITO (POETRY MANIFEST)

Mama’s Kitchen

I smell collar greens
Black eyed peas
Pinto Beans
In the kitchen that Mama kept
Without Papa’s help

I taste apple pie
Cinnamon Rye
In a cake that Mama bake
For Papa’s sake

I touch a silk kitchen towel
Chicken foul
In the kitchen that Mama kept
Did Papa help

I sight a cat at play
Mitten lay
In a cake that Mama bake
For Papa’s sake

I hear a shout of haste
What a waste
In the kitchen that Mama kept
Papa help
Baking a cake that Mama make
For all sake

HAIR [UNDISGUISED DISTRUST]

Example:

Hair short
Hair long
When you were bald
I had it going on
Now you wouldn’t cut your hair anymore
You continue to let it grow
This makes me have to look at me
And I don’t like the women I see
Disassociation of what is true
I’ll wear a wig that will help ‘me’ get through
