So I looked up some Maya Angelou poems...

"Men"
Does my sassiness upset you?Um-
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Does my sexiness upset you?Wait just a-
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
"Men"
They knew I was there. FifteenThat's kind of adul-
Years old and starving for them.
Your mind pops, exploding fiercely, briefly,...I think I see why my High School English book only had "Life Doesn't Frighten Me At All".
Like the head of a kitchen match. Shattered.
It is your juice
That runs down their legs.
