Long time ago
It was me and Tom
in love
on the beach
Then there were parties till the dawn
Then there were little sandy children
Now its me and Tom
on the beach
in love.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
It was a fun nightmy friend
for 25 years
had his 50th birthday.
We cooked sausage dogs
drank beer
watched fireworks
lost the game.
It felt like summer.

kar (ma) trouble
Luckily I made it home
my car is weird
it won't go into gear
when it is in park
(and yes, I did have my foot on the brake, Tom)
I have to stick a screwdriver into the little hole by the gear shift to make it go
Sigh
A woman my age doesn't need car trouble
If you are young and hot
people help you
If you are old and frail
people help you
At my age you might stand there forever
It's time to get me a tool box
and help myself
(this could be a metaphor for much)

pork chop
Not the best ever weekend for me
I felt like the kid whose dog wouldn't play with him
even with a pork chop tied around his neck!
But Mariah and Terry came over
and Caitlin and Thomas (her sweet little boyfriend) watched the MTV awards with me.
I enjoyed that.
I went to visit my friend Dell
who was my ally against the world
when she lived next door to me.
We haven't see each other much in awhile
so it was nice to find that common ground again.
Yesterday I spent about 10 years grocery shopping with my mom.
It's a privilege to help her.
I love that I'm able to
but she gets really confused
putting up
and bringing back
the same jar of peanut butter
5 times
becomes less humorous
as the time goes by!
Then it was Caitlin's family night
to put on their cheer dance at school.
If I am not good
and I die
and go to hell
I will have to keep up with my mom
who wanders
and Tom
who has had a few beers
in a crowd
that demands a certain amount of decorum
throughout eternity!
So today I am going to Panama City
to see that same dance
at cheer camp
a 3 hour drive
to see a 3 minute dance
I love my child!

so then
Expressing anger is not my best quality
I am pretty easy going by nature
I grew up in an angry household
so it makes me very uncomfortable
but
sometimes we all get mad
justifiably mad
I wish I could let it all out
have a fit
and be done with it
without feeling guilty
without feeling sorry for the ass
that made me mad
in the first place
it's important to me
to keep my hard won inner serenity
but some things need to be said
or even screamed
I am still on the surface
like water
with sharks swimming underneath.
