Speaking Of Cousins

________________________________________________________________________________________________

We thrust and parry

At the Bank of Insults,
it's cash and carry

"So what if my mother
wore combat boots.
At midnight in bed
with my father, 
he couldn't give 
two hoots."
 
"Neither did my father."
 
"I used to wear
clothes like yours
but then I got a job."
 
"Your sister is so fat,
she doesn't need clothes.
She needs aluminum siding."
 
"Your brain has
so much deadwood,
your IQ measures
two by four."

After the laughter,
we were much alive.
All we could do is
hug and high-five.

      It's a game Black people play
      where two people do their best
      to insult the other
