east bay woman

east bay woman
is fine
brownskinned thick or thin
luscious ageless luminescent
walks with a twist
in her hips
& hypnotizes
with her many costumes
& disguises
wears glasses or fake hair
while keepin it real
& all my oakland women
got a little thug in ‘em
sorceress alchemist scientist
professor mama goddess lover
bus driver schoolteacher fashionista
graceful tasteful tough pretty wise
