watchin' women work
by Charlie Morgankitchen talk; t.v. near-blaring;
kid-sponge at their feet, absorbing;
as three women change appearances
of the outside of the inside,
for now a lone musketeer, kid in tow;
living large now a teenager-word.
a bitter taste is transformed to lilac;
a freedom like no other, a child-blessing
with no cumbersome smiling while he lies to your face. 03/12/2011 Posted on 03/12/2011
