These Old Cats: Diary of a Single Black Female

Shetonya Latryce

You know these old cats can't just be a friend, they are always trying to find a way to get in. As if, their old school ways are really something that I could be fazed... By this time you would know or should know cuz you've had plenty time to grow, that women no matter what age require a certain caliber of respect to get "the draws".... I mean come on now let's just pause. Your mind so stuck on how to f@$! I'm sitting here plotting on how to get a buck and honestly this conversation ain't worth a f@$! Reality this old school ni$$@ trying to duck. I'm tired of talking, it's time to chuck em up. Oh and you can be assured I will share this so no more lives you can corrupt.  Dueces! you old cat  and I say this from my gut!

  • Comment from author about the poem: It came to me that it is best for me to speak my poetry from the perspective of my own colorful life as I am certain someone will be able to relate. This poem I freestyle recorded myself at midnight last night as I thought about how older men have came into my life and very quickly changed an opportunity for mentorship or even just mutual learning and practice of communication into something that looks and feels sexual even without any advancements. It really makes me sick but good thing I know how to heal myself. I will write on, cuz it gets deep and nothing in life has ever come to me cheap. Thank thank you for taking the time to read and give feedback if you desire.

    You think it's only old guys trying to get inside your pants? Still best to avoid them I think. Sometimes (perhaps most times) there's a power difference that comes with a difference in age. Better to stay within your own age range (although that's just the start of what makes for compatibility).

    This happens with most men but this in particular I have experienced once or twice. As a human i meet people and every meeting is not for a comparability check it’s sometimes it’s just a good human check Thank you for your perspective and feedback, it’s appreciated.

    Well, I think you got that off your chest. I would dump the old guys, unless they're loaded and on their deathbed, and you're definitely in the will. Which reminds me, need to go and check on old Mary.

      The point is men and women should be able to meet each other without sex being the first thought. This situation is not about trying date the old cat it\'s that I randomly met you or I work with you in a professional setting and you flip the script so now for a second I think of how you can benefit me that way and quickly it passes grossing me out lol. Thank you for your comment but this poem is from a single black women\'s perspective so naturally it would be misunderstood by anyone else. I appreciate your feedback.

        Men and women should be able to meet professionally, and they do every day, but there's always that, she looks nice, he looks nice.
