Requiem for ‘The Exceptional Knee-gro'

cover the path
from which you came
sweep footprints with Bank

denounce the “others”
boot-strapless-ones
who lack your skillz (?) …
the ability to swallow doppelganger cum

put them … in.their.place
not near …
your transcendent self

sway on your fractured pedestal
gossamer gazes uphold you
see the you of you’s
forbidden fruit - strange fruit
… low-hanging … fruit
you cannot erase away BLACKNESS

guise it in ephemeral fame
exploited
till dry
till you have no more
till the “crack drug”
of being an expedient
someone else
suffocates …
you

in this “place”
this is no
exchange for …
human …
you©
