'why isn't my body used to this already?!'
says she who must not be named
though i won't say who
because one time i recorded my mom when she was in the other room
yelling at me while i ignored her and played a sad song on piano
i posted it on soundcloud
bad! no no no!
dad yelled at me too.

just write just write just writ—
'maybe i like my hat maybe i like it ever think of that? hm? hm? hm? and you're not gonna tell me otherwise', an anonymous mom says

anonymous mom
the REAPER of FUN
the system of (remote) control (beep boop)
dance! now for the strange loop

dance until the loop confessed
backwards snackwards tea and timewards
breathe a licked and tack'd on (that's doctor to you) stalwart
