life. here. again. [subject-2] 
she's sassy
she sashays’
she believes what she sees
on the tv
she hates what she sees when she sees
she
so she does everything not to be the-
image which she views on the daily
so she-
puts a weave in her hair
bleaches the skin
lightens the eyes
enlarges the breasts
fattens the ass
changes the mind
no longer divine
no longer divine
eyes shut wide when the sun shines
other eyes come alive when the moon rise
to feed on the prize to feed on the christ
who doesn't know she's divine
because she's ignorant she pays the price
life. here. again.
