unhinged
|
an absence of sway
chicken angel woman with a triangle
by johnny_west
walking to the bad side of the river
for allergy medicine and a new coffee grinder
so many dark brown men at the busstop
with hostile eyes just like him
stop_it_stop_it_stop_it
the light was about to change
and i wouldn't be able to cross the street
stuck
trapped
but i kept my chin_up
hid my eyes behind my big turquoise sunglasses
felt the hostile eyes
from my head to my toes
lingering on my ass
once again thankful for the headphones
i crossed the street before it said i could walk
i was always one for rules
(he commented on how 'you people' always stopped when the crosswalk signs told us to even if there were no cars)
not eyes_cast_down
flipped my hair over my shoulder
walked the hostile catsidewalk
to the other side of the street
let the hips sway how they want to
distanced
with every step
a gaggle of stock guys in the walmart
i pushed my cart right through the middle of them
and felt the dark brown eyes
(also hiding behind sunglasses)
settle on my ass
with a smirk
i have my headphones in
i can't hear you
