Tae Bo

when i got home from school
my mother was watching 
oprah again
with a shopping bag
of ice on her knee
when i asked her 
what happened
she said 

“i dont want to talk about it” 

and later i found out
she was working out
to a tae bo dvd
when her knee
popped out of her socket
and nobody was home
and she doesnt drive
and she had no friends
so she had to pop it
back into her socket
herself and she said
it was the worst day
of her life
