A Rice Paper Tigress Named Gloria - Epilogue
Gloria says, “Boy, I am headed to Swarthmore with a banjo on my knee. Do you know what that means Mr. Boswell?”
“Well unless I drop out of substitute teaching and head north to the great state of Pennsylvania we may never cross paths again.”
“That is right. And the tears this brings me are the bluest of the blue. Please tell me the odds are in our favor of meeting in a restaurant here in Baton Rouge during one of my family trips home.”
“The odds are a million to one. But what are the chances of kindred...

silly girl
silly girl!
start eating again
oh, but the voices and self ridicule
harming yourself is not healthy
but its the only way i can control my pain
stop worrying, things will work out
i can't see past tomorrow
talk to those who love you, they'll understand
i have to be strong, i don't want their pity
just do your work, stop being lazy
i have no motivation, i can't help it
you aren't alone, people care about you
their false acts of kindness don't fool me
...

hunger
the all consuming hunger
that's taken over her
she stopped eating
because she had a hunger, a desire
to be thin
to fit society's expectations
but her hunger caused physical hunger
and unhealthy malnourishment
the distaste for high calories
the gum chewing for avoidance
the newfound love for diet soda
when she feels guilty for eating
she exercises past the breaking point
when the number on the scale is to high
she inflicts herself with cuts
that turn to ugly scars, for punishment
...

17 and 11/12ths
He's sobbing, overwhelmed
on the edge of adulthood
desperate to be told who he is
while balking against all limits
A joy and a treasure since birth,
what a gift that he shares
this tender heart,
this need for mom's hugs
And if I could, I'd relieve his confusion
But all my wisdom feels useless.
I know now,
I will have witness
him gathering his own.

generations
Dear other generations,
I grew up in a world of technology, that you created
And yet you blame my generation for using it
I grew up in the work world you created
With unachievable goals and low pay
I learn in the education system you revolutionized
Pulling at my hair, stressed beyond reason
You all raised us, wether your an older sibling, parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt, friend
Yet, you call us lazy as if we are to blame
You gave us the distractions of technology, you encouraged us
And now we are reprimanded and handed all these expectations...

Stressing for a Dressing Most Pressing
That dress she was wearin' seemed to cause lottsa
s t r e ss there in thee wide old yonder world
thee gods was playing on the chickens,
and there the plop plop tickens, (still stressin'
that lovely dressing of yours, baby,
jus'like it were fifty yearo's au'go'go.
and
O! the distressings that'a mess'ed up so
many

it's
messiest,
has followed the progress of those of
us quite undeserving
of a mistress so blythe, like

holes
those
long walks
stick out
bigger than
your fat lip
after
being jumped
for your
phone
we dreaded
every moment
dragged
the crap out
of our plimsolls
until heels
made friends
with
grey concrete
below
our faces
sucked out
by the
entrance
gate
knowing
that arrival
of screaming
would be
hell
to pay
for
long walks
stick out
bigger than
your fat lip
after
being jumped
for your
phone
we dreaded
every moment
dragged
the crap out
of our plimsolls
until heels
made friends
with
grey concrete

A Rice Paper Tigress Named Gloria
This is a high school where I am a substitute teacher for young pianists, flutists, and organists who birth notes with fingers on fire. During their practice sessions, I just melt in my soma zone while they strum my heart with the music of the Gods.
The young ladies chatter like Chickadees with gentlemen in a lyceum where Bach can’t compete with green grass and blue skies. So we follow the sun onto the campus green where lasses are peonies whose windblown fragrance is a kiss for lads while I sit in a Buddha pose with the heart of a...
