Kath - This is really funny, endearing and moving in a life questioning way... I like the jujubes. I wondered why you chose that, but what could be better I say.
More in Fooling Around
the path of a beginning to a middle
the rush
i hear the water splashing in the bathroom
as he soaps and lather's, shampoos and conditions
ponders the sunlight, the coming full moon
the cloudless sky and memories of his great grandfather
without pomp, she calls the warning,
"Ten Minutes."
The water stops, the rustle of towel
and a loud sigh tells me he heard her
His thirteen-year-old feet stomp towards his clothes
under his breath, his chin is warmed with hateful muttering
i have arrive here in the land of Dad
penniless and soul-hungry
craving unattainable love
and jujubes.
"5 Minutes."
He chafes under the pressure of now
I wonder about later
when everything is real
Will he cry?
