FABULOUS
“I don’t care what else is on the inventory. You still have to take responsibility for
fabulous,” said my sponsor with a determined look on her face.
“But you don’t understand.
The other things on the list make it impossible for me to be
fabulous. You just can’t see how
incapable I truly am,” I say as I collapse into a pathetic heap in the
overstuffed chair.
“What you don’t comprehend is that fabulous is not affected
by your other little grumbling. You
can’t tarnish fabulous; it doesn’t wear away with burden or neglect. This is why no matter how far you bury it, or
misname it, or even flatly deny it, fabulous shines like a beacon and you end
up with every Todd, Nick and Martha on your doorstep expecting you to be who
you are and let them warm in the glow.
So, my cherub, you can fight it or live with it, but fabulous is here to
stay.”
And this ladies and gentlemen is how my sponsor wins all the
arguments.
Pour a rainbow
into your dreams.

Do Not Enter
Putting all the mess
securely behind that door is no protection.
If the keys are changed will I be able to open it?
If the locks retumbled will I crack the combination?
Like a demon sealed within a womb
emergence is inevitable either upon this mortal plain
or cellularly encoded and reborn at a later date.
Prison is what holds captive the innocent,
evil is always at liberty.
Walling off my parts and pieces
severs limbs and destroys thinking.
Loads of cheesecloth is what I need; filter and refilter,
catching all debris.
Putting the toxic things
to better use and making myself free.
