The Things People Do
I had to write a poem for my tutorial; it’s the first time I’ve done so in ages and I thought you all might enjoy reading it.
My mother sends cards in the mail once a month.
Last month, she wrote,
“Dreams are like paper, too easily torn,” and,
“I love you, baby girl,”
and enclosed $25 to Victoria’s Secret.
She hates my boyfriend but sends lingerie money;
Even after 18 years, the woman makes no sense to me.
My father steals music for me and sends it in covert emails.
“Cross country meet this weekend;
see attachment for ‘directions’,” or
“You said you’re sick;
I attached mom’s chicken soup recipe.”
He thinks he’s clever;
I don’t even like chicken soup.
My boyfriend sees me 12 of the 24 hours in a day.
When he leaves, he calls me for no reason.
“Just thought I’d let you know I got off work early,” he says.
“My mother and I are going Halloween costume shopping.”
“I have a bad 90s pop song stuck in my head and wanted to share the pain.”
When I get off the phone, I say that I’m not sure what the point of the call was.
My roommate laughs and says, “People do crazy things when they love you.”
“People do crazy things when they love you.”This is perfect. ~
