love is the word

mission:

• write a dorky poem to my homegirl to cheer her up

i must note that this act was inspired by my lover, erica, who wrote me a cheer up poem earlier this week.  i’ve actually been contemplating of writing her a poem for a week or two, but she beat me to it.  so – e, i owe you a poem…but it is going to come as a surprise.  muaaaaahahhahahah.  can’t be that predictable now can i?

my other lover (i have many) mawuse had a not so happy gtalk status yesterday, so i thought she could benefit from some poetic ignorance.  here is my rendition:

girl.
as my droopy ass lids close one hour and fifty five minutes past midnight
i’m thinkin of you and sleep i’m trynna fight
see.  i got an act of kindness to do and you’re the subject
you’re hella fine so i gotta come correct
even if i’m not a lesbian
but hella people think i am
but anyway.  that’s besides the subject.
girl.
correct.
i’m trynna rhyme the same thing twice
like kanye west

i saw your gtalk status
just in passing
girl, i promise.  i’m not stalking.
it said you was busy.  and mad…or something like that.
sorry i don’t listen
it’s just that your skin is glistenin
and i’m fixin
for some chocolate pudding
no, not you.  i actually just had some chocolate pudding.
and i want more

more.
more more more.
mawuse ziegbe (zee-egg-bay)
with your fancy ass minimalist linen material business cards
i promise i’m not a whore
anymore
but i’ll be yours tomorrow
oh oh.
row row.
…your boat

if i was there right now, i’d go to east village
or greenwich village
or whatever it’s called
and get you a magnolia’s cupcake
even if i don’t like them much
and shove it proudly in your face
as you scold me for my gluttonous ways

hey-ay
mah-woo-say
i hope you have columbus day off
so you can come visit me
i’ll sing this poem/song/trainwreck
and you can scoff

but in the meantime i hope you laugh your pants off
but not in that way

[end poem]

i don’t really have much of a deep reflection after that.  so, um.  yeah.  mawuse said she “giggled.”  making people giggle is nice.

[end deep thought]
