Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

She always had an answer
And I was too afraid of her
To question her authority

I ran away from her when I was very young
She was yelling and screaming
Had 32 bathrobes( house dress)
That means no one leaves today

The play has gone dark
Make up and pretend

She could not wait for anyone else to speak
Just bulldozes over who is speaking

I stopped taking it personal
She is a bitch to everyone
Old actress cheerleader Bitch

She flies into Los Angeles and wants me to meet her
No willing to be a side dish on her lunch menu
I said “ no”
Cannot do it right now
I can never erase the scars
I have really tried to love
I cannot do it now

Probably a good call.

Thank you- kind of you

janet came out of the lake
like the creature from the hollywood lagoon
with seaweed in her hair and no idea how to mother
she was royalty for a snapshot in time
starlet of the screen where children
were a nuisance and limelight was enough
now a faded mermaid with a wounded daughter
write about it, write about it, write about it

That’s Creepy that you wrote that-how did you know that?

just read the clues from time to time and guessed
you did tell me one time about your mom's professional career
it's surprising sometimes what the audience can glean
from reading a poet's body of work over time...like
bread crumbs that lead to a conclusion of sorts..of course
the audience can be way off too...but sometimes right on

I love it! How busy are you?
I like your style- keep up the groovy work!

I have been married 4 times for long periods of time
I think only Gordon was my friend- and lover/ but only the father of my children knew me
That way- like deeply

I did not know how
To do it
Any of it
If it were not for the Italians I don’t think I would have made it- and Jesus himself appearing in a cold cocaine desire to change
I thought that this little Hollywood girl could become
One with the family
That was true for the children
Not for people from California
That like to go barefoot in the House
On marble floors in summers

All the old women sewing- knitting gossiping
Talking of grandchildren

I felt like I had landed in a movie set where
Love and honor are Italian
And The Godfather to your sons was arrested on an international warrant
The police were always asking me questions
My mother did not get it at all

More wine senora
The bumps rise on the left side of her head because the witch is trying to feed on her once again
