almost time

for their unapologetic shouts
    accompanied by unapologetic bouts
of raucous loosly goosely questions
for tired hangy wangy ears
lord too old to feel this bold
quiet bubbly troubly musty thoughts

think fast tiny mommy for the three plus the one
and the door stuck to shun
shun your fun
shun your fun
shun your fun

9/24

Well get up you beautiful woman and do something.

But

But the hair. But the clothes. But the effort. But the effect. But the loneliness.

And she could have died. And I would have lost her. I'd have lost her like she's lost herself.

Brush your teeth you lonely woman.

But the baby. The sleeping baby.

Because she needs you.

by and bye
