the fragility of humanity in student #3

we spoke of lyrics
disguised as poetry
and your ideas of genius
and your mistaken Louis Vouitton imagery
i never thought i’d be in a classroom telling a white boy
that the line about my pussy being like a lake
that another bitch’s man’s face is swimming in
would be a better example
to analyze
and you agreed
saying no one else is writing lyrics like these
and i politely disagreed citing
the historic public dispute
of Nicki Minaj
and Lil Kim
that I heard about
during a powerpoint presentation
at a house party
in Brooklyn
here i am
dropping knowledge
on you kids
when i should know less about these false idols
writing songs about the new American Dream
another missed opportunity for deeper analysis
and i try not to think that they call you Fry for a reason
