This is how you twerk
You leave behind the body of shame
Cellulite
back rolls
and stretch marks
Are the holy trinity your future husband prays to
You shake
Until God herself anoints your ass with leggings and a six piece mild
You twerk yourself into video vixen or poem
You let your art imitate your life
You twerk up a storm thicker than Katrina
All the honey buns and cupcakes have brought you here in peace
You let that sweat drip down your brow
You shake until tears no longer fill your face
You shake until you forgive yourself
You shake until window shopping negros don’t matter
You shake a monkey so vicious
The gates of hell will not prevail
your twerk
Until Chicago finds peace
Or a new mayor which ever comes first
You twerk
You work
You bob that back and break back like chiropractics
Don’t exist
