The More Things Change...

This blog's about me, my head.
The blonde girl
That everyone knows.
She always smiles
No matter
What.

Such a pretty girl
I've been told.

She's always smiling
What's wrong with her?

Just the goddamn best
Most highly
Underpaid
Actress ever.

That's all.

I learned how
Early on
When Kenny and
Charlie
Waited
For
My parents to leave town.

Waited
Till a 12 year old girl
Had 5 younger siblings
In her care.

Waited
So they could ride by
On their bikes
To whip me and my
Charges with sticks.

Big fat bully twelve year old
Swinging my 3 year old
Brother
Around by his shirt

Throwing rocks
Off of
40 foot cliffs
Down on to our
Heads
In the Gorge.

Why?

Because we had love.
