The Poets Korner: I Am Not My Mother

I am not my mother

The most important walk

Is less then a block

And it

Means forever.

A promise made with a long stride

That I'll always be by your side,

Doing wifely things

Every day and night

Cause I walked…

Well,what if I ran instead?

Could I still be held accountable for your happiness?

Or what if I skipped?

Even fell or flipped,

Would the vow still make sense?

It doesn’t matter I guess.

I am not my mother

And divorce is just another lover

Found at the wedding dinner or the laundry mat

In fact

Lets get divorced first and see how that fares

Maybe will stay together in the end
