The Last Black Unicorn

(Ann) #1

hole in my forehead, ’cause I done cut it oĉ. ͳen it would
just grow right back. Like, in mve days, it would be right
back.
Finally, one day I was crying about this to my grandma.
She grabbed me and started looking at my head:


Grandma:     “Child,     that    ain’t   no  damn    mole.   ͳat     a
wart.”

Tiffany:    “What’s a   wart?”

Grandma:     “It’s   nasty   is  what    it  is.     You     got     HPV.
What’chu been touching on, child?”

Tiffany:    “What’s HPV?”

Grandma:    “It’s   a   nasty   wart    that    nasty   people  get after
they do nasty things.”

ͳat was messed up by my grandma. Now that I’m older,
I learned that skin warts is nothing like genital warts.
ͳey’re totally diĉerent. But in my grandma’s eyes, I was
nasty. I was doing something nasty.
ͳe good news is that she got it burnt oĉ. She took me
to the doctor to conmrm it was a wart and then burnt that
shit right off.
ͳat’s how the Dirty Ass Unicorn died and the Last
Black Unicorn was born.
