Also known as suppertime
(2014)
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
