The Scene

by Zuri McWhorter

you’re so out of your element, that you’re neck deep
in mine

you’re at my party,
drinking my drinks,
listening to my music and causing a scene.

you are ruining this for me.

so stay in your lane,
white girl.

you ain’t really “bout it” and “down”
you don’t really fuck with me,
I’m quiet and brown-
a “stunning” blend you can’t comprehend,
and one you think you won’t see again

cuz we all just some niggas, in a room, to you.
