The Wristband

Sittin in class I look @ my wrist.
What reason do I wear decoration such as this?
If it sits a certain way my arm will itch & I think it’s a bug & it’ll make me pissed.

If it’s popped like many blacks by the police, my pain is abysmal compared to the mother’s grief.
I wear it in the shower & as I sleep on my sheets.

If cut though, $1 replaces the rubber.
This ornament like life in this world is valued very little.
That’s harder to swallow than un-chewed peanut brittle.

Then I look up & see class is about to commence, is it JUST a wristband? Maybe I’m reading too much into it…
**Just to show that a true talent can make something out of anything…**
