the world wants one-liners
to solve sentences long problems
never understanding
quick fixes and bandaids
on mortal wounds

Not Family, Just Conveniently So
i was good enough…
when you stole your son’s savings and needed to replace it
when your credit sucked and i had to be the executor instead
when your husband beat the crap out of you and you needed a place to stay
when you needed money to buy gifts at Christmas
when you asked me to do a fundraising campaign for your charity

drunks tell no lies
they say
but when they’re sober

hard times
get harder
direction is lost
focus gone
and the urge
to share
what needs to be said
just adds up to a larger tab
