Chambermaid's Lament
The heart is
a spoiled child
Making demands
of weary parents
Throwing foot stomping tantrums
in skipping patterns
As if heartbeats
know a thing
About the tangled web
of the creature
called us
And this
chloroform soaked existence
Where even the mind
shuts
d
o
w
n
In order for survival
While this
thumping child
rants
About such trivial things
as love
So selfishly insistent
It will have
what it wants
a spoiled child
Making demands
of weary parents
Throwing foot stomping tantrums
in skipping patterns
As if heartbeats
know a thing
About the tangled web
of the creature
called us
And this
chloroform soaked existence
Where even the mind
shuts
d
o
w
n
In order for survival
While this
thumping child
rants
About such trivial things
as love
So selfishly insistent
It will have
what it wants
