ME and Udesh, we

all of us

Back then

WE would be like

Wassup, my friend

And do the whole thing

The whole shabang

And the stylized handshakes or a hug

And the playful gestures that mimicked gang signs

I chuckled

At the time, I felt that aspects of black culture seemed a bit more appealing to me than aspects of white culture

That is

Except

I don't know

Actually

I thought elements of the gangsta culture were somewhat cool

I think the whole white thing with me

Is really, truly, just the whole Patrick Bateman, American Psycho vibe

Essentially

This is the only thing that resonates with me
