Five diamond rings on each brown finger
Met with the prettiest manicure I’d ever seen
She spoke with her hands hardly saying a word
Everyone following her silent instructions.
Her pedicure matched perfectly with every finger
As she stood ten toes down, six inches off the ground
In designer heels that looked too expensive to walk in
But yet she did it.
Gracefully and effortlessly
Her long brown legs carried her
And allowed her to stand so tall
Compared to everyone else.
She was met with a fine, dark, man
Who was covered in melanin
Dripped— no drenched in gold
From head to toe.
And when he saw her
His face lit up and he smiled
Showing his Gold plated teeth
Ten on the top, and ten on the bottom
Just as coordinated as she was.
French for her, and Golds for him.
The Black Barbie and Ken
Covered in gold and jewels
Rich in pigment and in wealth
Slowly taking over
By just simply existing.
