Leg, Skin, Knee.

So today,
I exposed some leg.
People’s eyes beg.
Faces sweat.
Men with tongues out.
Women with envy in their eyes.
Just coz of this leg.
My leg.
Ebony.
Thick.
Attached to thighs that don’t quit.

 
Today, 

I exposed some skin
In, it has been,
For a while, like gin in an inn
And like the under of a fish’s fin.
Chocolate, they call its color,
I’m not one to know,
Never been good with colors
But ‘it’ gets humans crazy
Some just want to get close, smell it-me
And when they do, they want to be conjoined twins,
Others, just want to be involved in mortal sin,
Deadly sin-the kind that consumes.
The modest ones start talking of me being their next of kin
They say I have light within
A light they have been searching
But I leave, strut away, to the sound of a sad violin
And they are left pale, like a flour bin.

So, today,
I exposed my knees
Funny how, they are a key
To so many things
I left the house, and I was on a compliment-ee
spree
I just wanted to see
To what degree, all the hes’
And shes’ surprisingly
Would take a moment to look at the vitamin D
hitting the chocolate ebony lotioned soft knees
So some started shouting things
calling me the Mediterranean sea-vast
The Africanized honey bee-royal
European olive tree-valued
This time I din’t get mad, I took it all in
To a tolerate-able degree.
