just doing it.

summer hair cuts
wiffle past the
waffle on his plate:
half finished

urging the food
for a quick gulping
and the teeth for
a fast cleaning
meaning
that i am a 'good'
mother

all of it has spiralled
into such a normal
mainstream
way of living
so fast
past the peace
vigils
and service
trips...
to the pediatrician
and stride rite...
right?

am i getting this
right? correct?
where do my philosophies
and my children's lives
instersect?

is there a new dialect?

this cast of characters:
were they in the script?
the one that someone
handed down to me;
to be?

or i am the writer
author
narrator
singer
performer
lover
mother
something
OTHER?

i am whirlwinded
into bills
and dishes
and laundry
and preschool
and library books due
and thank you notes to write
and baby showers to throw for others
and festivals to attend on the weekends together

it's always in the NOW.

zen.
is good.

focus is better.
