Don’t be so pretty that you catch the eye of the slave master.
Don’t be so pretty that you catch the wrath of his wife.
Don’t be so pretty that you catch the eye of a hungry white man
On your long walk home
Carrying biscuits in your apron.
He says he can give you something better than biscuits.

Be mean.
And be mean to your daughters.
Teach them not to trust anyone or anything.
Teach them the world is out to get them.
Just in case it is.
