To the man at the bus stop wearing the shirt that says “God is a Black Woman”

Satan was kicked out of heaven
​Because he asked God to smile

One time too many.

Slipped his hand on her thigh on the bus

When they hit a pothole.

Sang praises of her name,

Just to curse her lack of response.

He fell to his knees, slashed her ankles,

Offered to carry the world for her,

Just to make it his.
