Split my tongue 4 ways
Like the other 4 halves of me
Crazy glue my tonsils backwards
I want to remember what it feels like to be whole again
Comb the taste buds from my tongue
History holds no validation here
I’m fleshless
Meatless
Assimilation stripped
I’m a refugee
She’s a capitalist
I’m willing to turn her into a nationalist
Tame her like a scripture
Practice what she preach
Strip her jaw lines
Sew her smile tight
The burns aren’t too pretty
Beauty pains her
She’s a black canvas in living color
Color me His-Story
She wants to be History
Roaring panther, Jazz like, Stagnant
