Life on a 3 x 5
A Poem by TTBoy
The consummate professional
everything about her and her life
was well contrived
each strand that laid
saw Brazil once every week
Vogue met BCBG
as she could never be mistaken
for a Glamour Shot gal
Family shots taken
bi-annually
everyone will be present
With tubes tied
and the corporate ladder rising
within reach
She made a date with her G-spot
at her favorite clinic every
three months
Loving the games she played with
hubby produced immense pleasure
Karo Syrup found its way into
the potted plants she created
at just the right time
Robust and flavorful
could lose its lustre like an amateur
at a poetry slam
if control is not there
Date time and playtime
required different time
for separativeness was not her specialty
but her design for peace, love, and happiness
And there was all this
as long as there was herself nearby
somewhere in time
And when her Papa found his own way
into a home for 92 year olds
She vowed to remember everything
no matter how miniscule the issue
Headaches and bloody noses forced her
to build her life on a 3 x 5
As she did for enjoyment
Her Papa’s funeral date matches the one the
Funeral Home has
