There smiling
at the sink
turning with a spatula
...and a cooing baby at her breast
filled with love and angst
in equal measure
designer sneaker clad, ready to run
from the cul-de-sac, from the apartment, from the house
feigning friendship with pseudo friends filled with empty chatter
loathe to touch too closely the bubble of their lives
authentically alone everywhere except in her head
Give it up for.... Every-Woman
who gave it up, who made a choice
when she did not have to choose
Hah!! That is a good one. "The bubble of their lives" Good line, that. Says a lot!
