IN DAVID’S TEA

IN  DAVID’S  TEA    I  WAITED  FOR    G

I overthink everything in my life  and that

ruins my life   I hate being a girl so much

Do you know how much easier life would be        if

 

I wait and wait for sleek blonde loveliness

to finish her sentence   at this place until the fall of night I waited for  Godot

Hoping against hope that she  wasn’t just another

girl   wishing she were born  a boy

EAT THE WORM

EAT  THE  WORM     I IMPLORE YOU

I resent the snow  as though  it shows up

to induce claustrophobia and mid-winter

migraine   These relentless  mudbeige days      without sun

are raining on my  wellness parade    Even

the tea at Teavana  is not the antidote to            my malaise

 

O  you denizens who growl & march zombielike into the frozen haze  

 

Something so much stronger is required   until

Toronto   emerges from the maze   When we will

squander again our  hot pink dusks   and   forget about all of the beige
