Assault w/ a Weapon

Eye have in my possession

the implement of destruction:

the blue and white iron

belonging to My First Husband

wielded by His Former Live-in Girlfriend

a dancer

to whack Him on His Hip

while hot

to leave a permanent scar

of polka dots

and The Man’s Story

of “Bad PMS”

STAY-AT-HOME MOM

The Hawk Kitchen 2:48pm

I know what it means

to be a housewife:

picking lint galaxies

off Your Husband’s Shirts

doing a light load of wash

for A Grown Daughter

Who’s off to be

with Her Grown Brother

wondering if Your Children will appear

for supper
