Here No More
I can not stay here any longer.
The stench of your decaying lies
has become such an unbearable assault.
I can no longer dwell here
where my ears are forever filled
with your well arranged deceit.
I will not stand here and look
at your pretending smile
and receive your rehearsed affections.
I do not wish to possess the diseased
heart you offer as a token
of your love here no more.
Daddy’s Girl
“You are way too mean and bossy to keep a man”
you told me that summer day
as you handed me the tire tool and jack.
“So you best be learning, Sis
how to change these things yourself.”
And so under your guidance
I fixed the flat tire in the sun
and wondered how I could ever
learn to change these things myself.
Pretty hard to change mean and bossy!
A High Glossy Shine
I don’t sit like a lady
I will not wear a skirt
No high heals nor stockings
Just my jeans and t-shirt
A girdle? Your’e crazy!
A slip! That’s insane!
G-strings would be torture
I want my undies plain.
My hair is cut shorter
Than any girl’s should be
And I’m nowhere as pretty
As my mom thinks I could be.
But I’m happy and nappy
And gnarly and stout
No my clothes are not girly
And my ins are all out.
So let me assure you
You are wasting your time
Trying to polish old leather
To a high glossy shine.
