Ears of Fury Number 2
“EARS OF FURY #2”
this Monday will be a year
that I’ve known her.
ironically, it is the exact
time it all fell apart. I met
her when she had an in-
credible hunger for sex and
attention. any fool who’s
come to live enough of life
would know, they usually go
together. the year has been
long and often, full of
fight. the abundance of
lessons was there but she was
just too foolish to take the
gifts. she once told me, she
hated her mother for every-
thing she had put her
through. she said her mother
always put men ahead of her.
she said she felt abandoned
and worthless. she continued
to tell me that it was as if
sex was more important.
she added how much she hated
being alone because of it.
her mother would throw them
to babysitter after baby-
sitter, all to avoid being
bothered by her children. she
said she swore years ago,
that she’d never be like her
mother. I’ve babysat her kids
so she could satisfy her
hunger. she found a married
man for some sex and now he
is getting a divorce from his
wife.
she has convinced herself
that she is in love with him
and he feels the same. she’s
paid attention to only his
daughter while alienating her
oldest and leaving her with a
babysitter. now, at the end
of it all, she is quitting
school, leaving her apartment
and moving. meanwhile, his
***** and their kids are
getting pushed to the side.
isn’t it funny? she tried to
be everything her mother
wasn’t but whores will be
whores. there’s no end to the
hunger they lick their lips
for every night. a year
later, I know the same whore,
the hunger for sex is
stronger than it has ever
been. the need for attention
has come at the cost of her
children. she swore she would
never be like her mother, I
can only hope her hand wasn’t
on the Bible.
