She looked different.
Like a full frame that cocaine raped frequent.
Seemed black with a whiten disposition
Her lips would quicken
Over conversation to tell me that she liked my skin condition,
With the random completion that
She doesn’t really do black men.

But at that moment when
I dismissed her passé period of black men with just my presence,
To her
Black. Looked. Different.
