(I know. The Latin is as bad as it is fake)
my other sister wants to be a nurse.
I got a brother and he edits video
Me, I just wanna drive a hearse
Big sister’s boyfriend’s an inventor;
My son, he’s a freak with his guitar;
My ingenue’s gonna be a drama major
I just wanna be an aging rock star
My grandkid, she’s got doe eyes--
I've never noticed them before
I smilingly imagine all the men who fell
into those wells and hit the granite floor
and it hurts like hell when I draw near
She puts herself a million miles away
wonder just who's being exorcised right here?
when you're six buildings away
And having to stand outside
when there's no outside to stand in
really brightens up my day
One day soon I won't be satan
or else I'll be trying this elsewhere again
and being thankful for her final gifts--
my grandkid;
and our student, Jen.
