Bully In the Canyon

She was a bully in the bathroom.

Throwing her nose up in the air, and
Showing her disdain.

She made me feel a little less than myself.

But, we all boarded the single engine eight seater—
Together like a family.

A confident sleuth with long, brunette curls,
She shook and shivered as soon as we hit turbulence.

I had witnessed a chameleon change from
A bold black to a pusillanimous yellow.

One plane ride closer to God showed all our true colors.

I was the only Black on board.
