She slapped me across the face and said I’m never speaking to you again Then she kissed my still rosy-raw handprint cheek And kept me up all night Tells me in one ear that I’m special Painstakingly chosen, gifted to speak unique In the other ear I hear about all the others she treats the same Her visits and her calls are haphazard and irregular I drop what I’m doing to channel her gospel Which later reads insane secular Sometimes inspiration is hallucinations are inspiring The weight I wrapped in tender embrace no more with morning ‘riving Each time she leaves me with a stuffy mass of lines A messy page that she lets me keep for life, and before I even finish reading, she’s out the door and with Another I don’t even Know if she’s Ever coming Back

She slapped me across the face and said I’m never speaking to you again Then she kissed my still rosy-raw handprint cheek And kept me up all night Tells me in one ear that I’m special Painstakingly chosen, gifted to speak unique In the other ear I hear about all the others she treats the same Her visits and her calls are haphazard and irregular I drop what I’m doing to channel her gospel Which later reads insane secular Sometimes inspiration is hallucinations are inspiring The weight I wrapped in tender embrace no more with morning ‘riving Each time she leaves me with a stuffy mass of lines A messy page that she lets me keep for life, and before I even finish reading, she’s out the door and with Another I don’t even Know if she’s Ever coming Back
