Half heartedly the glue gun wields to mask my anxiety
Facing a certain compilation of expressions of fear
If this idol would ward off spirits that cause reality to flee
Fertile grounds for tribal rituals, loss of scientific methodology.
Is your inner child annoying you?
Buy it an ice cream and sit and chat.
What things sustained her?
Sitting in a group of 4 women waxing philosophical
I giggled and played with Words.
Why do they feel such seriousness
can lead them through their darkness
to what Helen Keller called a.Life?
More fairy dust Please
She said High as a Kite, and I thought
Child’s play and flying dreams
She found a higher power up there.
Mom cooked Continental Style in New York, anything hot was from India,
New Mexico was far enough away that summers and holidays were bearable.
You can try to slowly feed your children a bit of salsa, some stew with lots of potatoes
Then there in Portland she meets a guy who travels back home here to buy chile,
Coming again to visit in January for another run. I didn’t raise a dummy.
Asperger’s Syndrome got banned from :”the book”
too much money going to those freeloaders
If you have OCD, you had better do your share
of switching On/Off light switches
Have a bad mood and you are Bipolar:Free Ride
None of this labeling matters unless you have someone
really suffering from a mental illness.
Then they become the guinea pig of some
unimaginative, impassionate clinician.

Anyone can see it, obviously, I traveled
to New York to drink champagne,

but she thought I was my sister (I don’t feel like me. How did she know?)
Alcohol soaked cells scream out
INTERPHASE PROPHASE METAPHASE
New Agers pat themselves on the back
for looking at the red glow of an eclipsed
Moon, and I signed up for Harvard online

a dessicated state which I am apparently in.
Selfie!
