Today She Got Some Money

“TODAY SHE GOT SOME MONEY” here it is again, another day before another visit with her kid’s dad. “Tonight, I’m shaving my kitty Eddie. I’ll show you I’m over you,” she said. “Oh how convenient, the night before you take off,” I laugh. “Think what you want, I don’t care, you can think I’m gonna have sex, I don’t care!” she proclaims. the confidence in her walk is fraudulent and emotionally weak. male attention: her greatest addiction. she’s denied it but I’ve known her long enough. ask her and she’ll tell you it’s a lie. tonight, she showers, tonight, she shaves, tonight, the polish on her toes is freshly applied. tomorrow morning, her best clothes go on and she’ll be off for another fun filled day of attention at the cost of her child. she’s dressed to impress and just last night she wanted me to know her kitty was shaved. I’ve told her she’s got attention issues but what do I know? I guess it really must be all in my head. By: Chicano Eddie 7-28-2016
