She wasn't the brightest one
in the room that day
Oh, Mom
Really?
No, Tennessee does not
border Florida
The joy of besting the matriarch
along with the promise
of selecting the evening's movie
embossed the Cheshire's grin
on my mug
Charlottesville had but one
theater with two screens
a dilemma for me as I
entered adulthood
Do you take Mom to the
teenage boy's wet dream
or have her barraged with F bombs?
Porky's or Richard Pryor Live on Sunset Strip?
We were wordsmiths
the disctionary had its own seat at the dinner table
The T&A could wait
We'll conjugate fuck tonight
****
Forty years later my mother
still introduces me as her boy
who took her to see that vile man
The either-or
The lesser of two evils
was just a boy's view of
the situation
A man would have
suggested sitting about, chatting with Mom,
and playing cards
There's always another option
