Sweat by Tzitzi Farmer (written for Hip Hop Poetry, Spring 2009, Hunter College)

I...am unstoppable
like beaver dams couldn't wreck my flow
as I build rivers through afros
check my ego!
I can build saunas across the borders of hairlines
that can eliminate any little girl’s perm into a Honey Comb Hairstyle Mascot.
