Christopher Kendalls Mocha By Chris Kendalls Every time I saw her Reminded me of my trips to the continent Even though she had family in the states The dream that came with an exotic woman Made me dumbfounded concerning everything else When she put her arms around my shoulders As beautiful as she was to look into her eyes But when she’d speak to me I was lost Too mesmerized by the thought of being in her Yet I was always confused when that happened I knew she didn’t feel that way about me It was my own ignorance on race I fought my own emotions and of course I’d won I could not keep up that charade for long I loved South America but I wasn’t sure about her I was in love with the idea of what she was So obsessed with it I could not even get to know her So the ‘relationship’ ended up falling apart Score one for emotional intelligence When I saw her in the states a few years later Unsure what would have become of it She didn’t have a whole lot to say to me Instead she grabbed my hand and took me for a journey “You think you know me but you only know part of me” “I’d like to show you a different to me and mine” So we hit different neighborhoods and areas I wasn’t exactly sure where this was going But when it was over I didn’t want to leave And I was filled with emotions I hadn’t known Because it was such a bittersweet experience Times I’d spent with her I had not in South America I thought I could get back into her graces “I thought you would have been with a black girl” I guess there wasn’t anything I could do about it Not only goes she point out my ignorance But she accuses me of racial displacement To look back on it She was willing to forgive but could never forget And I should not have expected her to do either But never forgo enlightenment Didn’t care about her acting or trying to be ‘black’ Send me back to South America Show me the places I love Along with the people I’d taken for granted You won’t catch me doing my business into your land anymore Using your people for my own gratification Guess it was all the same I’d learn the hard way 030328 ... god "That's what's so great about it. Anybody who really remembers the '80s probably hated it," he laughs. "It's much more appealing on the surface than in reality." neil schuh 050322 what's it to you? who go blather from
