Lame excuse

If I want you

It's because you fit a mold

in my mind

you fill criteria

I've not set down

but have been with me

for millenia

would you like a drink?

It's nothing personal...

Accidents will happen

Oh well I didn't really want to drive home for Christmas anyways...By the way I was not hurt at all.

Mom

1963.
You
Are standing sheepishly
In front
Of the boardinghouse.
You
Before me
Before him
Before this life you accepted
In the midst of strangers.

In the midst of strangeness
You are beautiful
Flawless
Gleaming white face
And those huge eyes.
They could only be
Blue-
-An innocence displaced
By an equal volume of water.

But
this photo
Is black and white
And
Isn’t in our family album.

I finally saw
You
In a shoe box
Hidden
Under your bed.

Queen of Cups

This card shows up every time I do my Tarot.... Did I get a one-way ticket to Martyrville?

Or am I a superstitious flake with too much time on my hands?

Ah, but then I would have drawn The Fool...
