Poetic Justice

Alone

Once upon a time in south central
The movie shows as a movie showing fancy New York apartment and diner room.
Brad: You like your whine? Want s'more?
She nods her approval.
Penelope: Mmmm, you're good. Candles, dinner, vines. What's next?
He grins.
Brad: Let's set the mood.
He goes over to the stereo to turn it on. nThe Isley brothers 'between the sheets' emanates from the speakers. Brad crosses to the couch in a position in which to kissing Penelope.
Brad: Last time I saw a woman drink like that, she started drowning.
Penelope: Did she die?
Brad: I don't know, I was just life u guard. You know I don't wanna give you the wrong impression, that I invited you up here.
They both started kissing.
Then the between the sheets is invaded by a remix of tribe called quest Bonita applebum. To lines of cars wait to enter the drive thru. The heavy bass sounds of hip hop music mingle in the air with that of many window speakers play that play. In the background, we can see the couple in the previous scene kissing on a large movie screen. LAPD helicopter flies ahead, transcending is to the next shot, welcome back 2 Los Angeles.

Compton drive in theater dusk
Overhead we see a shaft of light coming from the drive in's projector. As we move past a few cars, their inhabitants are all in various three's of sexual foreplay. Some are kissing, others are actually making love. All the windows are steamed up. The voices of females as the men grunt, groan, moan, and beg over their bodies, love is in the air.
Car #1: Don't bite me so hard, you gotta be more gentle.
Car #2 (softly): Use your tongue, just use your tongue.
Car#3 (with heated passion): Ohhh! Oh yes! Ohhh! Ow! I'm sticking to the seat.
To the last car, the windows are crystal clear. Things are just beginning to heat up between the couple inside the car. The woman is an 'around the way' honey with soft light brown skin, full brown eyes, and nice delicious luscious full lips. This is justice (Lisa Bonet), 17, who is still lookin for her place in the world. The man kissing her is her boyfriend named Markell (Q-Tip) a small time drug dealer and a former gangster.
Justice: Markell, get your out of my skirt, come on Markell stop.
Markell: Let's get in the back seat.
Justice: No, why can't we just sit here and watch this movie?
Markell: Cause its boring.
Justice: It ain't boring, it's a good movie.
Markell: Gimme a kiss, gimme a kiss.
Justice luscious lips touch on Markell's lips, tongue kissing lustily
Justice: Do you love me baby?
Markell: Of course I love you.
As he tries to pub back in for another kiss, she stops him.
Justice: Tell me why. Tell me why you love me.
Markell: Let's get in the back seat, so I can get some sugar.
Justice: Uh uh. Can you get me popcorn? I'm hungry.
Markell: Popcorn?
Justice: Some popcorn please? Something, jujubes, go on, please?
Markell in disbelief gets out the car.
Markell: I don't believe this.
Justice: Get me popcorn, and some jujubes, and some bonbons.
As he was bout to get her popcorn, he turns back around to the car to let justice know why he love her.
Markell: Justice, I was just thinking, the real reason why I love you, cause when I was in the county jail, you sent me all them nice poems, I'll get your popcorn.
Justice looks back at Markell with a beautiful smile.
The customers are in line waiting for their food, two thugs are playing an arcade game.
Thug #1: Yo, kick em in the head.
Thug #2: You worry bout nothin, I'll fuck this fool up. Damn!
Thug #1: I ain't givin you no more quarters.
Markell, who is feeling nervous, finally arrives in front of the line. One of thugs look across Markell and seem to recognize him.
Thug #1: Yo is that the muthafucka that be talkin shit at the mall the other day? Is that the nigga that was talkin shit the other day man? Is that him?
Thug #2: I don't know man.
Thug #1: Look at his face dude.
Thug #2: Nah, that's not him.
Thug #1: That's him dude, I'm tellin you, I remember him, that's him dawg.
Markell: Lemme get a.....
He looks up on the mirror as he recognizes two thugs too, and is hoping to escape.
Thug #1: That's the nigga that was talkin shit the other day with all of his homeboys.
Markell: Popcorn and jujubes.
Then another incident happens in the middle of the parking lot where more thugs are fighting.
Back to the theater
Penelope: You're sick!
Brad: Is that a crime?
Penelope: Oh save it!
Brad: That one is.
She starts shooting til all of the bullets were gone.
Back to the theater parking lot, Markell gets back in the car with popcorn and jujubes.
Markell: I think I saw those fools I had beef with last week.
Justice, in the back puts her hand under his chin to turn to her eyes, she unbuttons her blouse, and was ready to give him a lil something. Butn before  they could get it on, a pistol is pointed to Markell's head, pulls the trigger, blasts through the passenger window, justice screaming when blood gets all over her face.
Justice: Markell! Markell, get up baby! Markell, baby wake up, Markell! Somebody help me please! Somebody help me!
Everybody start running for their lives when they heard a gunshot, one night in the theaters was vibes turn to violence.
The next morning, justice is laying on her bed, depression on her face after the loss of her boyfriend.
Justice: Alone, lying thinking about last night, how to find my soul at home, when water is not thirsty, a bread loaf is not stone. I came up with one thing, and I don't think I'm wrong, that nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone. Nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone.
Now justice is going to work, wearing all black ever since her boyfriend died, she stopped believing in love, thinking she'll never find it again, flashback to her boyfriend gettin shot, visiting his grave, young men are lined up curbside by the cops.
Justice: There are some millionaires with money they can't use. Their wives run around like banshees, and their children sing the blues. They've got expensive doctors to cure their heart of stone, but nobody, nobody can make it out here alone. If you listen to me closely, I'll tell you what I know, storms are gathering, the wind is gonna blow, the race of men suffering, and I can here their moan, cause nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone, nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone.
She closes her diary poem book, gets out the car, walks pass the cops still harassing young black males, telling other blacks to back off.
Cop: We got this under control, just get out of here and let us do our job, we got this under control!
Justice just walked away like it wasn't any of her business.

I've always imagined Lisa Bonet as justice in the 1993 street romantic story, though she auditioned for the part, hope y'all enjoy the first chapter. Comment, vote, peace out, enjoy!
