ME **** MIND (in memory of my mother Ita) “If you fall off that wall & break both your legs ...don’t come running to me! ” Could never understand my **** mind & how it worked. One moment she 'had half a mind to come up there &' get me off that wall. Then she 'was in two minds about' whether to tell me to stop. “Go ahead...go ahead & **** yourself ...see if I care! ” “I’m warning you child if you fall off that wall & **** yourself I’ll personally come up there & **** ya myself so I will! ” I used to watch the words climbing out of her mouth & fly around the room looking for a place to land in my mind. Never cared whether she gave out. I just loved everything she said the music of her & how she made the words behave. I came down and kissed her kissed her worry away. 'I'm sorry Mam' I told her. And she cried.
