Shocking Ingratitude
She had me restored to my mummy
After disappearing like a needle
And made me quit acting dummy
And worshipping a TV Idol.
Clearly My social mother
Also, on merit Biological
Quieting a hostile Brother
Increasingly rashly illogical …
A woman who could’ve given birth
To such as I
And my freighter ship berth,
Where it can be picked with the eye;
Now, I have grown too fast
For her assured comfort
And have long shadows cast:
A Fine Escaping Effort …
No longer a moth
That expires on palms inhuman
A steady rapid growth
Quicker than that of a human.
And now too I don’t courtesies keep
For a woman twice my age …
Over her in the streets leap
While she tries every wedge.
