My glares burn through her. • And I’m sure that such actions aren’t foreign to her • because the essence of her beauty is, well, the essence of beauty. • And in the presence of this higher being, • the weakness of my masculinity kicks in, • causing me to personify my wannabe big-baller, shot-caller, • God’s gift to the female species with shiny suit wrapping rapping like, • “Yo, what’s crackin shorty how you livin’ what’s your sign what’s your size I dig your style, yo.” • Now, this girl was no fool. • She gives me a dirty look with the quickness like, • “Boy, you must be stupid.” so I’m looking at myself, • “Boy, you must be stupid.” But looking upon her I am kinda feelin’ her style. • So I try again. • But, instead of addressing her properly, I blurt out one of my fake-ass playalistic lines like, “Gurl, you must be a traffic ticket cuz you got fine written all over you.” • Now, she’s trying to leave and I’m trying to keep her here. • So at a final attempt, I utter, “Gurl, what is your ethnic makeup?” • At this point, her glare was scorching through me, and somehow she manages to make her brown eyes resemble some kinda brown fire or something, • but there’s no snap or head movement, no palm to face, click of tongue, • middle finger, roll of eyes, twist of lips, or girl power chant. • She just glares through me with these burning eyes and her gaze grabs you by the throat. • She says, “Ethnic makeup?”… K.
