talk about it

In Out

In Out

In Out

Like a fucking stay cat. 

You can tell when the door 

was opened and closed. 

You know, the sliding glass door 

 that is adjacent to my room. 

I asked him to use a different door

And he gave me another 

“Fuck You Bitch” speech. 

This time I’m “disrespecting him”

because I had some coffee

 and herbs on the counter. 

Let’s not talk about his beer cans

And overflowing ashtrays on the patio. 

Or his stuff in the living room 

From January when they 

redid the bathroom. 

So I talked to the home owner. 

Just to let her know

That it’s not all

Rainbows and Unicorns 

At home. 

It was a relief 

to get it out in the open. 

Yesterday was rain. 

And we had a break from the heat. 

Today - back to it. 

The Best Boy loves

Moby-Dick. 

I’ve focused all my attention on him. 

And prepping for moving!

I read nice and slow to him, 

and try to do the voices. 

There’s something about being read to

That makes it better- 

Even if you falter 

And stammer on some of the words. 

We’re way way way 

past the reading material 

The school has for him. 

Which is mainly Pre K. 


I have Water and Covefe

During the day

With my little Flavinoid Blends. 

And I dropped a pound a day 

for 3 days.  Pure water weight. 

I’ll take it.
