Don't Listen
July 2, 2009 / 3:47 pm
Tie some knots, make some deviled
Eggs, put on your pants one leg at
A time, listen to your mother, no
Don't listen to your mother, take
Your vitamins, Val, you're acting
Antsy, Val, look how many pages
I read today, type the reply, wait
For the reply, organize your sock
Drawer, organize your thoughts,
Make your predictions, listen to
Your mother, no, don't listen to
Your mother, call your sister, what
Is Dad up to, fear failure, watch
Thirty minutes of commercials and
Thirty minutes of show, get annoyed
With the car alarm in the distance,
Walk down and get coffee, nine
Sugars/it's a big cup, sit in sun,
Pray for patience, listen to your
Mother, no, don't listen to your
Mother, what's for dinner, soak in
The tub, did you finish that book,
You look tired, Val, I am tired, check
Email, check news, check weather,
Turn on some lights, I didn't take
The vitamins, think about coffee, drink
Water, inhale cigarette, exhale sigh,
Put on pajamas and scooby socks
From organized drawer, listen to
Your mother, no, don't listen to
Your mother, where's the lap
Blanket, I have to have the remote,
Did I brush my teeth, I should have
Said something else/why did I say
That, freecell, turn off some lights,
Watch thirty minutes of commercials
And thirty minutes of show, brush my
Teeth, TV off, mind on, listen to your
Mother, no, whatever you do, don't
Listen to your mother.
