with that salon selective shine
and her backless tanning spine-
Mary don't want no brown guy:
some big-nosed,
long-armed,
hairy legged,
creep
with all those issues
"His name is so weird.
It's an ordeal just to introduce him to people."


so eager for late night excursions,
writing poems on dreamt-of perversions-
Elizabeth don't want no white guy:
she wants someone
different from the rest,
someone sensitive,
attentive to her needs,
"I love Asian guys.
They never complain about a thing!"

constantly bleaching her face,
never satisfied with her waist-
Sunnah don't want no brown guy:
her mother would be only too pleased,
and besides, it's time to break out of her parents cultures
"Indian guys are gross.
They only dig white chicks anyway."
