circa 2001

Day ONE.


enters Sonia,
shutting the door behind her.
She removes her full red lips
To tell me in confidence:
"I'm so glad they finally hired a
brutha here! You the only nigga that's been in this building besides the UPS
guy!

We gotta have each other's back.
If there is anything that you need,
nigga,
please don't hesitate to let a sista know!"

then she quickly leaves my office
after putting her lips back
where they remained
from my first day

through to my last;
attached
to
every
white
male
ass
in
the
company.
