My black face Reflecting in a black cast iron pan Hot grease dripping down the sides of my black face Reflecting in a black cast iron pan My face turning blacker from decades spent Frying chicken Frying bacon Frying fish Frying okra Frying back sweat Frying hate filled tears Frying wasted tears Frying and smothering lies My black face Reflecting in a black cast iron pan Getting blacker and better
