3 little poems

by Jolie Jordan

being
in the same place
twice
doesn't mean
it's deju vu

there's dirty dishes
and dirtier thoughts
perhaps even thighs
(whichever sounds better)

pretty
like a dandelion
in a sidewalk crack

but I am no flower



.



I am always thinking
about the wrong things
at the right time

I shiver and
turn
blue

in between sloppy lips
promises don't keep



.



He reached for my hand
or up my skirt
I can't tell the difference
anymore

feeling like a
robot
with guts, again

don't tell my mom
what she already knows

When you feel like a robot with regard to a relationship it's time to change batteries and go in a different direction.

I quite enjoy the raw emotion in all of these. Well done.

Raw and oh so delectable. Every single one. Love.

(i thought i'd commented before) there's nothing 'little' about these poems.

Every time I read your work I want to buy you ice cream.
