nikki giovanni - seduction/kidnap poem lyrics

one day
you gonna walk in my house and i’m gonna have on a long african gown
you’ll sit down and say “the black…”
and i’m gonna take one arm out then you—not noticing me at all—will say
“what about this brother…”
and i’m going to be slipping it over my head and you’ll rap on about “the
revolution…”
while i rest your hand against my stomach you’ll go on—as you always do—
saying “i just can’t dig…”
while i’m moving your hand up and down and i’ll be taking your dashiki off
then you’ll say “what we really need…”
and i’ll be l!cking your arm and “the way i see it we ought to…”
and unbuckling your pants “and what about the situation…”
and taking your shorts off then you’ll notice
your state of undress
and knowing you you’ll just say “nikki
isn’t this counterrevolutionary…?”
ever been kidnapped by a poet
if i were a poet i’d kidnap you
put you in my phrases and meter you to jones beach or maybe coney island or
maybe just to my house lyric you in lilacs dash you in the rain blend into the
beach to complement my see play the lyre for you ode you with my love song
anything to win you wrap you in the red black green show you off to mama yeah
if i were a poet i’d kid nap you
