too late at nite / thots ramble
can't stand my body right now
the extra weight i've gained
skin dull / age shows up around my
mouth / in the lower cheeks
i'm too good looking to be this old
ah vanity / deadly sin that it is
i can't bear to get old / why does
this body begin to fail / / my youth
falls between my fingers / on to the ground
mixed with sand / the wind blows it away
solitude of night bears down / an almost
enjoyable place to be / some where over here
some place between my ringing ears & the empty bed
no / that's a lie / never alone / even now one small
boy sleeps side ways in his mother's bed / head covered
in perspiration / dirty feet across his mother's pillows
ah & she / i rage / some days the anger over takes
makes words & body & day angry / / curse / i swear
you have shit for brains / / grab a brain / / stop
think about what you are doing / think about what will
happen if you do that/ is some one going to get hurt
because you weren't thinking ???
i hate this job / mothering / teach your children well
what am i teaching / how to be neurotic / a fraid / oh i
told you so
