Croc-o-dilly Oh My, Croc! Croc! Croc!
Kelly’s response to the patriarchy & Larissa’s piece from last week, “My therapist told me to read ‘Codependent No More’ and get off my high horse”
oh,
if we could only
stick our butts in jell-o
eat a marshmallow
die our hair yellow
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
we’re still on our
second shifts singing
My Heart Will Go On
as they leave
the Keurig pods
6.5” from the garbage
each morning
we’re standing
in alphabetical
order waiting
to feed
our Tamagotchis
while they’re leaving
the forks & the half
empty cat food
containers in the sink
chores are the only
currency we trade in
jobs half done
behind the ‘frigerator
there lays a piece
of glass they’ve cracked
eggs over our heads
for decades
as the
yolk drips down
yolk drips down
yolk drips down
& we’re suddenly pushed
& do we see the color?
& do we have the chills?
See you next week 😘
Nice. The rhythm is very nice in this one.
