the racist lesbian
who once called me
an uppity ******
who forgot where I came from
just had a baby
in West Virginia
who will grow up
without a father
or any mother
to support his escape
from a hick-*** town
if he even wanted
so I can't laugh too hard
and I say God Bless
'cause that's what they say
where I was raised
and if I walk around college
calling that white trash
it would only mean
that she was right
