The New York City summer breeze gently swarms into my room tickling the bottom of my left foot. Rainbow sparkling lights begin to dance around on my orange wall migrating into the “Good Times” painting by Ernie Barnes.

“PARANOIA”
Who the fuck are you? Why the fuck are you here?........ your presence chokes me like poison. You are intertwined with every outline of my existence. You invade my mind like the wet pussy of a virgin being penetrated for the first time. Let me rephrase, in case your mind is bound. My pussy may be wet at times but the only virgin I’m speaking on is my mind.

“MISEDUCATION”
Woke up this morning to my father climbing into my bed. He said “I blessed you with food and a bed. Now it’s my turn to be fed.” Left home feeling worthless. Trying to get focused. At school, serenity finds me. Hiding the shame. smiling to keep sane. “hell is inflicted on me.” My teachers bid me farewell.” Until next year “ is my reward for being here.
