Expectations

Expectations  
are major creations of disappointments
shopping bags with holes in them
fill the baby pool with hose water and pretend it's not filling up with visibly dead insects and possible piss
expectations are minor doctors appointments
I thought would solve these symptoms
they never do
and my mother will continue to be right always at the worst of times;
expectations tighten electrical sockets of loneliness
ignite a fire in the house
threw the extinguisher on the couch
but that's already engulfed in the father flame;
 
the thing is;
it always rains when you want it not to
leaky drains and waterlogged clothes lines;
I just soak in the calm precipitation naps
and watch my window pane distract eyelashes of tomorrows.
but sometimes I get sad too
by the weather,
Don't we all?
