(2015)
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
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
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
