Pre-school mathematics
service center acrobatics
not one cringe
not a single one
as the desire
to scream and yell
gets caught in my throat
I offer a helping hand
and a smile instead
sugar coated persuasion
goes a long way today
but only as far
as I say
It's all so new
White Chocolate cheesecake
goodbyes and suppressed
tears for the me
I used to be
Hugs and admonitions
slit eyes with hard rock
words that have no meaning
to the messenger
let alone me
It's all so new
rollin on the asphalt
rollin to my castle of love
my prince riding backseat
provides laughter to my weary soul
An afro hits the ceiling of a royal blue
PT Cruiser
I long for my pink pillow like slippers
and I smile
because just like my cells
and my mood
and my heart
It's all so very new
