mmmm, I've gotten there better than this one, but it's ok (today's poem: A and B)


A and B

by sheri


We heard the A-frame turn to Ahhh
sitting on those h's we made into thrones

and feeling the house settle,
even our solid backs creaked a little,

my kids would have been King
if our battles were won

and the sun grew cherry trees we
slept under making a sweet escape.

They are not King and we are not in
the A-frame and we have no cherry wood

end table with a lamp we read our own
history on our faces, walls, low ceiling

or high calling, it really wasn't us.
The A-frame turns to And

while we lie on the bed of it, waiting
so long for the rest of the story,

And you were there, And we wrote
the 'B' how you Been? Hedges of 'e'

it was our plan B I've put myself into.
A two story, a true story, a storied life.

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
