mom on phone

It is certainly not stoic or brave
holding your tongue while the parade
of homicidal cells
stomps pancreatically
ever on


oncologistic desire of
questionable provenance
wants the grocery store parking lot

whipping her hair
on a cloudy sunday around 2.
that's all you say


the mnemonic is spa
socratic, platonic, aristotelian
fed the dog, stopped at dollar general
and something like complaint,
rising up through the mass,


about the bad day
she needs more than you
