Hold your banana buckets

said no blackened skin tropical person ever

And yet

I

Of part Afro-can descent

Say that constantly

And laugh about it hysterically

Because why the hell not

I'm just making fun of the ludicrousness of it all

Of it all sometimes

All so trapped in our stories

Children

The most incredible thing about children

Is that it can be customary for them to say things

That can blow you out of the water

With their truth

Their profoundness

The way they can see far beyond our meager eyes

And then they can say shit

I can laugh at that

No matter how much you want it to be a him

It will never be

I'm sorry

I'm just isn't.

God is neither male nor female

And yet it's both

At the same time

And no I don't mean transgender

And that you feel you have to fight so hard to protect that falsehood

Is just the saddest (sadist?) part of it all

Not that there isn't even worse atrocities
