“Black girls don’t bruise.“

“Yeah they do.”

The girl looked at the ground the table legs rested on.

“I’ll go with you and I’ll stay with you all the time. They just let the air

-short story Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway

I’m not your mama, I’ll leave ya
Just like your father, I’ll leave ya
Uh-huh

I’ma ’round all my hoes up, I’m jaded
I’ma wear that lil’ dress that you hated
I forgot who I was for a while
Now when they bring my bottles and lights
And ask me what I want on my sign
