“Bitterness”
Shallow kids sit
showing indifference-
callow bullshit
saying fuck at the drop of a hat-
thinking they are Lawrence Ferlinghetti
wearing their Calvin Klein jeans
and their Jennifer Anniston haircuts-
what they do not know
is that hemp destroys the brain.
Hip-hop- hanging with the homeboys
gold chains and bustin’ a sag
these white boys
jump in the jeeps and head home
to Mummy’s catered
Publix deli dinners served with
tennis skirts, gossip, and cellulite.
Birthday girl in clogs and miniskirt
stumbles down the hall
since she has had no cotillion training-
she tugs at a bouquet of balloons
too big for her to carry
(but her Mummy bought them for her
since Mummy cannot buy love)
with books and flowers-
Learning early what it means
NOT to help the impoverished.
