Changes

Simple kicks on her feet; Baggy jeans, baggy sweats. Even baggier T-shirts. A rocking natural hairstyle; Even turn bald. Bare ears, bare nails. Coolio, Eazy E (N.W.A.). 2pac, Biggy, a lot of T-bone/Kirk Franklin. Bursting her ears deaf. Pen, paper. Nature, surroundings. No noise, silence. But Alas! High heels on her feet; Fitting skirt, matching top. Red lipstick. Weaved hair. Tied into a bun, or just let loose. Statement earrings, polished nails. John legend, Melanie Nicki, Chris a lot of Tamela/Randy Crawford. Starting and ending her day. Pen, paper; still. Lights and roads, surroundings. A lot of noise, never silence. Oh well!!!!!! Oh bother!!!!! Changes!!!!!!!!! © Herzel Poshiwa
