Party Trick
She did it as a party trick—
Party Trick
She did it as a party trick—
my mother—
composed some lines
with rhymes
on the fly
when friends would ask
if it were true
that she could…
In her heart of hearts—
I think—
she longed to do
what I do.
But along came
skinny loves
who said,
“No, dear,
that’s not for you.”
