I am not cool

she called
me
an over educated
gangsta’ thug
in her private school
pleat
and monogrammed
polo
like judge judy
telling me
just how stupid
and why

you always
want better for your
kid
it’s the universal
but there are times
when the thoughts of
stun guns and kiddie
jails
don’t sound so
crazy

it happened when
I wasn’t looking
I lost a clue
my stature shrank
my outlaw face
no longer “phat”
just my stomach
I am not
cool

which one was judge judy? everyone with their own opinion - tsk - I always say "jealous that I have such prodigous talent and that I squander it?" good work mf
