Jemima Puddle-Duck by RAGWORKS
In The Crib from Ribbons a poetry and photographic collaboration with Jake Green
(Brixton 2003)
Con fuoco, con forza, con brio
Nobly the rapper pointed her finger
at nobody in particular
She stamped with fire and force
And was vigorously blinged
In acrylic finger nails
And digits goldie ringed.
Was jus’ stressin’
As she dubbed each beat
First the index then the second
Then the finger of the wedding ring
And as she formed the o
Twixt thumb and pinkie
Her lips synchronised the shape
Later in her crib
Stephanie kicked off her Reeboks
And un- gripped the extension from her hair
Tonight was a hard scene
Rapper Queen’s eyes widened
In a yawn
She hoped the photographer
Got her lip stud and new joggers
Performance was all.
