Black bird
behind
bulletproof
glass
allow me
to introduce
myself
I am a poet
not a rapper
although I write
good rhymes
and the story of
my life
is an episode
of good times

Black bird
behind
bulletproof
glass
I am a poet
I am on the grind
mashing these words
to paper
trying
to make the ends
meet
trying
to make the ****
make sense
*
Black bird
behind
bulletproof
glass
I am a poet
a champion
of the human lexicon
I am
to poetry
what
Harriet Tubman was
to slaves
You see
words are free spirits
that you can’t take back
that you can’t return
once they are
free
*
Black bird
behind
bulletproof
glass
you are to me
like a word
unspoken
I am anxious
to taste
your name
on my lips
and release
you upon the
heavens
this is
a poet’s
providence
behind
bulletproof
glass
allow me
to introduce
myself
I am a poet
not a rapper
although I write
good rhymes
and the story of
my life
is an episode
of good times
