They said she was crazy
Hey, chit, you've got flavour
And I did
Maybe to them
On another note,the title is taken from a line in the Watchowski brothers' movie "Bound", starring Gina Gershon and Meg Tilly. In it, Gina (the butch dyke) asks Meg (the lipstic lesbian) what the difference between them is and starts saying how she's better and yada yada and Meg's character, "Violet", is basically a weakling (for various reasons). At the end, Gina's character "Corky" asks Violet again if she knows what the difference between them is. Violet says no, and Corky says...you'll have to see the movie or email me to find out.
Additionally, I have another poem about me, Druscilla and Kendra called Dark Blood.
They said she was evil
They said she was a warrior
They said she was a whore
They said she'd do anything to belong
And they were right
I had my pure skin, she had her God's sight
To attend to
They said she was a killer
They said she was a slave
They said she was a wild woman
They said she was gangsta bitch Barbie
They said she was black
They said she was ripe
They said she was a Goddess
but she was crazy
Sucked on my bones
And I was supposed to fit right in at the Monster's Ball
And I do, I do.
For
They said I was crazy
They said I was evil
They said I was a whore
They said I'd do anything to belong
And for a while, they were right
I ate up anything and went to Scarlet's college for young negro doormats
They said I am a killer
They say I am an addict
They say I am a slut
They say I will fight back. Until the threat dies.
They said I am Mulatto, that is what I am
They'll say I'm a slut
A psychic temptress
But I will always be evil
Me and Her, Twins from Flavour Country
The difference between us
Is
I'm not crazy
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I have alot to say on this subject, and yet it's almost four. AM. I think they gave Dru the small (but totally sexy!) man. They like to give black women small white men. It's a primal thing, like increasing tradeflow and selling what's cheap. Selling Indians bullets. Selling soda in a cup and putting in a lot of ice. Dru and I are connected. I may not know exactly why everything wants the thin blonde man and the black Goddess together, but I know it's a raw deal for her. I know if you shut a woman up and call her evil, you can put her in an asylum. And the thing is, I may very well be crazy. But I can't be written or predicted like Dru can, at least by her corporate owners. Lol, now I'm starting to sound like Tori Amos.
