she'll use red number five
for hair dye
pay for painful inscriptions
of paw prints on her thigh
'cause she doesn't want a Tyrone
to forget where to walk
and in her talk
please note the consistency of chewing gum
rainbow colored contacts
that make Toni Morrison sigh
but what do the ghetto gorgeous do
when the soap operas
and their fleeting dreams
die?
