“Read my poem? Please?”

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?
A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them
J9 can’t sleep since
her mother died stays up and
writes heartache in tears.
Today J begins
flying not yet a driver
the sky’s the limit
They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.
TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss
Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.
The Director’s Cut
in her hands M reads snuggled
with her Uglydoll.
