23

This one came to me scraping raisins off the kitchen floor after breakfast…

ah to be
23
what would I take of me
at 23?

my boobs for sure
but not much more

not my brain
kinda insane

not my dating
left waiting...

not my bad back
that was whack
my bad back

not my job
oh good god
not that job

so I’ll take
48
with too much texting
and not much resting

with warm family relations
and working towards
peace among nations

with robust health
and right perspective

and 2 boys
who don’t take directive

these 2 boys
with all their toys

spread on the floor
there’s not much more

really it’s great
this 48
