Independence Day

Independence Day

Lauren Newton

I took a downer, now I’m awake,

God tossed me lemonade to bake.

I took a fire, now I’m wet,

Burns are easy to forget.

I took a joke, now you laugh,

Toes riddled in staff,

1+5 is basic mafth.

6-1 is 25,

Hummed to the tune of ‘stayin alive.’

You took a risk, now I’m paid

No sewer well to drain

No pockets of disdain,

No clouds, no rain.

You promised gold, now I’m rich:

Dripping in bitch

Condemning a snitch

Scratching your itch.

It’s Independence Day today!

What you gotta say? Pray? Stay -

Bitch, bark. Have a play.

Chase a squirrel, call it “gay,”

Mind ur biznus, bust my clay.

My patriarchal innocence feels

Patriotic: Matriarchal Here-say
