sitting in the waiting room at Scarlet's (for Kelly, Alieka and especially Donele)

there she sat
little black girl
on the little black bench
only black girl in the room
awkwardly alone
there she sat, unnoticed
as they hustled on by
talking bout their trips to Milan
as they puff on their cancer sticks with puffed up silicone lips
laughing like they have no cares in the world
and leaving her out of the joke
there she sat wondering
why does she care?
she's just waiting....
waiting on her friends to show up
yet it's a little lonely here
she looks up, hoping to catch an eye
but the eyes looking at her face seem to see through her transparency
probably admiring the picture behind her back
little black woman
bored outta her mind
why can't her friends ever be on time?
then......
she hears a 'hello'
some old man smiling at this goddess of a woman
probably just wondering if she's offering some easy snatch
hmmm, that's wrong of her to assume
he might actually want her for her mind
who knows, he was gone as fast as he came
guess he was only being polite.......site.
little black girl
looking down at her watch
tired of waiting, feeling violated
in this black and white movie scene
she gets up to leave but then
they finally come running in "van, sorry to be late but we............"
