hat'bra

by Hugh Mosno

that bra that watches you sleep from outside the realm of your possibilities

that bra that is most dangerous... needing nothing from no one

that bra that tries to paint the world like its a poes place

that bra that thought he was the best she ever had

that bra that died inside the body of a living soul

that bra that’s always bets

that bra that’s sitting in a jail cell for possession of herb

that bra that dunno when to stop, hou his bek or say sorry

that bra that thought he was gonna live his lie forever

that bra that never met his father, lost his father, is a father

that bra that lost belief, in what he was led to believe

that bra that couldn’t leap & got leapt behind

that bra that ended up with his childhood sweetheart

that bra that pretends not to know what he feels in his soul

the bra that suiped himself to death off donations from the public

that bra that uses his thoughts to create love

that bra that keeps trying to relive that one weekend

that bra that thinks he can save the world with his salary

that bra that was diagnosed with a false sense of entitlement

that bra who’s taanie outlived him

that bra that koppel credit so he can play with

that bra that tried to figure out, what he was figured in

that bra that has a muslim name but lives like a fake christian

that bra that couldn’t give love, where credit was due

that bra that can’t make sense of anything without a price tag

that bra that put aweh & hopa into the mouths of humans across the planet

that bra that thinks democracy can exist inside of social inequality

that bra that’s never ever needed a résumé

that bra that wrote the writing on the wall

that bra that’s min ge'spin

that bra that don’t still have to worry about where his motjie is

that bra that you never ever heard about, but did koppel for you

that bra that could only throw back as far as thursday

that bra that couldn’t be satisfied just being alive

that bra that cries when he’s alone, and smiles when he’s not

that bra that can’t forgive anyone, not even himself evens

that bra that played his part

play your part

give a fuck
