Le nègre negated, meagre, c'est moi:Denigrated, negative, a localCaliban, unlikable and disliked(Slick black bastard -.- cannibal -.- sucking backLicorice-lusty, fifty-proof whisky),A rusty-pallor provincial, uncouthMouth spitting lies, vomit-lyrics, musty,Masticated scripture. Her Majesty'sNasty, Nofaskoshan Negro, I meanTo go out shining instead of tarnished,To take apart Poetry like a heart. So my black face must preface your finish,Deface your religion -- unerringly,Niggardly, like some film noir blackguard's.
