Red Pea Soup

by Chris Burton

Thought it was gonna spill on my way to work
White lady 

Kinda reminiscent of Judge Judy

In how she moved through her earth

Saw me in her classroom

Spreading hope and happiness

Told me to “get out!”

I sunk.

Better to leave than disrespect the ancestors

Can’t wait for her to find out

Jesus looks like Colin Kaepernick
