Eyes Wide Shut

I wanna go to Martha’s Vineyard, eat muscadines and drink wine. I want my belly to swell with the fruit of our love. I wanna drive on full and eat fillet mignon for breakfast. I wanna live like God is my Father and Jesus, my Brother who saved me. I wanna trust and never hate ‘n never be careful ‘bout nothin’. I wanna be Scarlet in Scarsdale and Sr. Edward Crump at the Macy’s Day Parade. I want green eyes and red hair. I want hips that don’t exist. I want Oprah on the phone right now! I wanna drive my baby to school. I want tuna on toast with capers and sweet nectar pomegranate juice. I wanna open my eyes....
