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
