Wait Up Baby

Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Wait Up Baby Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: February/1989 The water/smooth  feathered white suede  winter hat was tilted  "Ace/Duece," to his head, in the heat of summer - His gait  was that of a Stepping  "Dap/Daddy." He wore a black short/waist zipUp  leather jacket, Dark teardrop  sUnGlasses, a white T-Shirt; black faded/Jeans, & black patant/leather (keen toed) Stacey Adam Shoes - The cigarette that burned between his left index & middle finger, Were like  a short fuse (ready to explode) - Explode on who he called, "HisLady" she was walk'n strides & strides ahead of him - "Say,  he shouted,!  I'm talk'n to U Damn/It. Wait-Up baaaaaby! U/B walk'n to fast." She was almost out of his hearing range, & his dap-daddy step & slurred speech - She wore a  black silk Tee/Shirt; black/leather jacket, white mini skirt with BlaCk knee/high...... high heel  winter boots & black nylons N the heat of summer - Under her right arm, was  a large portable stereo, blasting  out AciDrOck, The cigarette that burned between her left index & middle finger, was a short fuse (ready to explode) Explode on any one who stood N her way - Shhhhhhhit! she wailed, exhaling  smoke dragons from her mouth - "Why kaint/choo keep up daaaaamn!" she screamed, shaking her shoulder length brunette hair, with a blonde streak  down the center of her head - She never looked back at dap-daddy, & he never stopped shouting, "Say, I'm talk'n  to you damn/it, wait up baaaaby! you be walk'n too fast!"
