excerpt from “black fiction // 11/28

It’s gotta be fiction, when I wonder why we work against each other,

It’s gotta be the love that we lack for one & other

good grief,

I thought someone said we was brothers,

But your skin color seems to say otherwise

& the differences between us prevents us from seeing eye to eye.

Man, sometimes i get to thinking about it & I start to cry,

I’m tryna be a man, but rushing the process because I think I might die,

It’s gotta be fiction,

ghost 2 u,

i know it’s hard to see me,

it’s so dark outside

somewhat impossible to feel me

even though i’m by your side,

memories that won’t ever leave me,

i hope you’re still thinking of me

i was your slave, before you freed me, but now we’re scattered in time.

just another ghost to you,

living on through these rhymes…

& be one with the breezee, it’s all I can feel,
