J on a binge

Ransacks the kitchen.
Demands she needs chocolate.
Pacified by Dove.

Toil and trouble

Cleaning is like con-
fession. You’re surprised by dirt
under the surface.

Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.

High School Musical Meets 2008 Presidential Race

Brainiac Barack
cheerleader Oprah campaign.
A Disney moment.

Clean sweep

My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.

Because they can

No greater self-love
than a dog licking itself
with satisfaction.

Protection

Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.

VH1 shows

It’s the guilty splurge,
potato chips for the mind.
You can’t watch just one.

Survivor – Family Holidays

Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.

Thrill of the kill

Urban mall jungle.
Shoppers prowl for deals, fangs bared,
credit cards dripping.
