in the 18th’s rough, she must/
have lavender balls.

I’m just waiting for/
someone to see me the way/
that I truly am.
Why would they do that?/
To release you to passions/
you’ve only dreamt of.
What at last gets her/
up? It’s not peer pressure, for/
I am way too old.
These cute nappy-haired/
kids were once not ours. But now,/
thankfully, they are.
How do you respond/
when you at last hear words you’ve/
longed for your whole life?
