he me akim, call it dat ting, keep ya body

Lil Dirty Rasta Boy
banging drums and Amerie
on his earphones
told this
young
black
girl
that she was his own heart
but she thought he said he was hard
speaking in tongues
she didn’t comprehend
he tried it in Tre
he tried it in French
he tried it in Spanish, Arabic, Deutch, and Gha
but all she could do
was get high from the residue left on his dark lips
