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!!!!!!!!!
