Still Screwing Around With Writing (a “sonnet”)
regarding the things i said about your mother:
babe, i’m certain she’s a lovely woman,
when properly medicated. i know
she only threw that knife in jest – in time
the scar will heal, though the doctors say
i’ll never play the piano again.
i’m sorry that i responded badly
to the car fire: there is no excuse
for calling her a batshit-crazy bitch.
i have insurance and there was an ant.
and i wasn’t calling her old per se,
i just thought she would be more comfortable
wearing underwear with a skirt that short,
especially when she is mounting tables
at your brother’s fourteenth birthday party.

she barely smiled when apologizing.
