I've got myself 
WORKED up
ABOUT 
my mother

I can't EXPLAIN 

I could try
BUT 
it FEELS like 
SOMETHING 

that won't make ANY sense 
because I don't really 
UNDERSTAND it

MAYBE 
it's that I want her
to be something that she isn't 
& THAT sounds 
PETTY 

MAYBE 
it is 

if I understood 
WHY I'm so 
WORKED up 

MAYBE 
THAT 
would help me
OK


I told her I would make her the ice cream
& what TIME did she eat breakfast 
EIGHT she says
SO
I blend it the night before 
AND
it was SO LOUD and I wasn't sure if you could 
STOP in the middle of the CYCLE

SO
I bound out of bed
throw on clothes 
DRAG my ass
to her apt 
SHE
was ASLEEP 

I did this to myself 
& I also was
TRYING 
to get myself 
MOVING 

& using her as the EXCUSE 
BUT 
I feel like 
I RESENT her
for THEN
making noises
LIKE 
I maybe wasn't LIVING up to

DELIVERY expectations 
which wasn't 
IMAGINARY

BUT 
I'm probably 
SENSITIVE 
& I've seen her
EVERY DAY
this week 

& MAGGOTS
