She calls, panicked, freaked.
Can’t breathe, can’t focus, can’t write.
I soothe, long distance.

She calls, panicked, freaked.
Can’t breathe, can’t focus, can’t write.
I soothe, long distance.
Neglected, ignored.
Like faithful dogs, blogs wait for
their masters’ return.
Some days she doesn’t
fit into her skin, too young
to be old this soon.
Unlike cold New York
you smile, take in all comers
with your midwest charm.
Though Burnham’s Folly’s
in New York, he saved his best
for his hometown dreams.
At the Happiest
Place on Earth, worn-out tots shriek,
deprived of their naps.
With more handlers than
Lindsay, their paparazzi –
parents; stalkers – tots.
Intense chemistry
onstage. In real life, silent,
eyes not quite meeting.
Morning mommies soon
supplanted by suits checking
BlackBerry emails.
You ask, I answer.
Opinions fly. No right, wrong.
It’s all subjective.
