about

The poem "A Song" was written by Sonia Sanchez and is used with permission of the author.

lyrics

take my virginity
and convert it to maternity
wait around a century or two
and see what i’ll do

take my body give it yo’ brand
stitch my breasts on the fatherland
wait around a decade or two
and see just what i’ll do.

place my dreams on any back stair
tune my eyes for yo’ nightmare
wait around a century or two
and see what i’ll finally do.

suck my breath until i stutter
listen to the sounds i utter
wait around a decade or two
and see just what i’ll do.

take my daughter one sunday morn
drape her in dresses to be torn
wait around a century or two
and see what i’ll finally do.

bury me early all dressed in white
find yourself a brand new wife
wait around a decade of two
and see what she’ll finally do.

and see what she’ll finally do
and see what she’ll finally do.
