The Sound of my Mom's Voice is the Cape I use to Save the WorldThere's something effortless about lips stained with wine. / Like a guilt-free, hall pass to unfiltered minds. My bartender poors liquid confidence into my challace of courage. It soon shuts up my "almost" verbage. I think he's magic, he looks concerned at my face, but really I'm just staring in awe of the grace. It's nice to finally know how it feels to not hesitate. / There's something spiritual about long, interstate drives. The thinking that occurs is the lyrics on his mind. Sometimes I cry, often I scream, other times I laugh to feel, just for once, a little lightly. I drum on the wheel and hum with the bass. I know I've felt God, once or twice, on that **** interstate.

"Yes, Ms. May."She has a bowl of wintergreen mints next to her rocking chair / Ms. Maggie May rocked back and forth with each creak and squeak of that **** chair / When I got off the school bus
