Telling me


first published in 2001

My sister use to tell me to wake up and smell the coffee. “You’re living in the past,” she would say, “it has left you behind.”

“What you need is a fuck guilt coffee mug to remind you every day that the past will never change. You must see it as it was. And, that is all.”

Tangerine told me not to loan out anything that I am not willing to give away, unless of course, the person is expendable.

My mother use to tell me that I always need to have the last word.

My lover used to say, “Have I told you today that you are beautiful and that I love you?”
