took
the hook
for an insult poem to Brooke
from an outkast song
and replaced the name
Miss Jackson
with
Miss Walker
i'm sorry
but your daughter
is crazy
from a to z
i used to watch her cry
with what was
left in the adjective
and use the same fear
to cut her arm
and use the same hate
to break my windows
and use the same fists
to throw punches
those same fists opened
used to emrace me with hugs
in my face at The Chug
fingernails leavin'
scars on my skin
we haven't spoken since
i called her and said
"We won state tournament bitch!"


it is what it was

peace
