this is all I said to my mother

 I'm a dead beat, mom, what does it mean to you?

you used to talk about people like me with your coworker

when you worked at the electric company,

same as they're probably doing to me at the water company.

then her sister, my aunt, sending asking me to seek God

and stop my drinking and smoking, and I asked my mom

to have her stop sending me these cards, she has no room

to talk to me like that, citing reasons why.

so, my says, I'm your mother, why do you say terrible

things to me, I told you yesterday, just Stop!

I'm shutting my phone off now.  then I told her

about the electric jolt I got, and scared to lie down again and

had been up since 10:30 p.m. And she said, Go to bed.

like I exaggerate everything, and it's all in my head.

that's pretty fuckin' funny, because She is the one

exaggerating everything.  I really don't know why

she's mad this time.  I'm just a Truther,

in all regards.
