Czqovcxtu (pronounced Michael) Pike is not as black as the night and I’m not whiter than white—and a big thanks to ‘The Stories’ for that very fun song. Cizzle’s more café au let, before that descriptive became, like everything else it seems, racist to say, and I am, thanks to my Scottish genetics, PDW (pretty darn white)—but not totally!—other than my hands, my neck and face, and my feet, which are pleasantly sun-burnished from my hours of tidepooling.
