THURSDAY 29th OCTOBER 2009.

She’s a mother,
A daughter,
A sister,

And is proud
Of this list.

She also has
A mother,
A daughter,
A sister,

And is good
At these kinships.

But there’s one
Association
That is missing
From the ticket,

That she isn’t
Any good at,

Or particularly
Proud of,

And that is
Spouse.

  1. Bam! A quick thick club, snap! Right to the point, nice & almost sterile in its simplicity. A basic set of facts delivered w/out emotion. And it's true and it leads the reader to the cold bitter conclusion that slaps them in the face with the word spouse. A beautifully detached, systematic machine like elegance.
