Coming to America

Decapitated on the cover  but    still   looks   a   touch       naive         department    store     glaze      in    the   eyes       holding        Charlie Murphy’s     hand       making      neapolitan        while      just up  ahead      Eddie  Murphy    enters the wrought   iron  gate   with  Arsenio    his bodyguard and her   friend    Bridgette   everyone    wearing   a soft grin   and   post  cold  war/ women in the  workforce      shoulder  pads     that’s  the   scene from  when   my   mom was   on    the     cover   of    the     National Enquirer      I  didn’t ask  too many   questions I  didn’t  want to know  the answer to        Bridgette    was    a  single  mom      at    the time   also   but   between    that  affair   with   Eddie   Murphy   and how they beat her up  real  bloody that night for calling him   a bitch in front of his groupies      and     slipping   on some melted   ice   on the floor    at a   Marina   Del  Rey   Cheesecake Factory  that  time we all saw Millie Vanilli at valet      she    was   able  to call Gloria  Alred   and    ended    up   with     a    beautiful     new  house in Glendale    for  her and her son.         There     are    so    many     ways    to   be   dignified.   So many   ofays  to call  when the story   breaks
 So  many ways  to be saved.
