iDevelopment
at school i was the lucky
one with the extra cool
dad and mum who gave me the moon
and the stars and the sun
instead of expensive plastic trash
with things that flash
costs wads of cash
the other kids for some reason
jealously wanted to be me
i had every freedom of self expression
to be me became my life lesson
and in the process
being a child was big fun
then womanhood begun like a shape
shifter i owned what boys wanted to play
with but when they couldn’t
get more than a snog or a hand
upstairs outside
‘cos i refused to be another of their unloved
lovers (which was what a council
estate girl was apparently destined
to be with a pushchair and a pram
and another bun in the oven) and getting inside
my knickers was strictly a no-no way street
then they called me
slag
iDetective
you were deffo
one of them boys
this was most certainly
one of them nights
loved up
and into each other like crazy
buttons and zips coming undone before
the key was even in the door
snogging each other to a breathless
frenzy it suddenly struck me
something was wrong
nice cushions (home boy) that rug
co-ordinates with the curtains
slow down tiger
i need to use the bathroom
miss marple i ain’t
yet i felt your stiffy (mmm)
there’s no way you’re gay
but this flat is deffo
femme fresh
serious
make-up and sensitive
skin moisturiser
bras and knickers
in the laundry basket
even jessica fletcher
would get to the bottom
of this mystery in less than a hour
so
a quickie and scarper
or do i take the moral high ground
make a stand for truth
and the sisterhood
fuck it!
this is no time to act noble and good
i’m dead horny
