I wish I was a 1950s housewife that never had to leave the house
I wish I was a housewife
making a big fat roast,
I'd be smoking,
twirling around in my fancy skirt,
I wish I was a housewife
and didn't always have to think about work.
When that was okay,
to be,
just that.
Harness,
reminds me of horses,
horses remind me of my dad.
Cigarettes and placing bets.
Wanting to be like him,
I loudly shouted out and put 10 dollars on number 7.
My toothbrush is electric,
it is supposed to help with my bleeding,
decaying gums.
We can have bad teeth, even if we try our best,
sometimes our mothers give us
the weak
teeth
gene,
what the hell are we supposed to do about that.
I like bracelets, I have very many.
I wear them on my skinny wrists,
shining,
like stars.
I have some from all the places I have been,
maybe someday,
I will go back
and add another
to make it a pair.
I like bracelets,
they brighten up,
the cold,
dark,
world.
Just a little bit.
