Bone Deep

Your energy stinks

Whether close up or far away

I can read it on the screen

I see it in your smirk

And I hear it in your tone.

Your condescension reeks

Like the way the wind blows the landfill stench

It’s in the air

It’s all around

It’s overpowering and all consuming

Clearly, you are no Simone.

Like a water balloon that leaks

Your clothes can’t hide it

Your hair can’t distract from it

The way you move in the world

Doesn’t anyone else see?

‘Cuz for you, it’s in your bones.
