SIMONE SAVANNAH

Preclude

There is sex on my Instagram.
I like to be sex on my Instagram.
Like to look like a witch and say cute shit
about the man I’ve been sleeping with--
          I tell him I like him when I like his shit.

We text about sex sometimes. Have sex there sometimes.

Screen protector like a condom
or coconut oil  on          the           clitoris.
I say shit like baby,
let me slurp down that  big         ass         dick.
But, sometimes I just spit on the tip
on some                             cute      ass         shit

and send nudes with my locs and my eyes cut out--
Please, white boys, don’t break my iCloud;
Job market got restrictions on pussies that don’t hide out--
