Also known as suppertime
(2014)
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
