she repeats
little snippets
of sentences
3, 4, 5
times in a row
in short
rapid-fire bursts
she refuses
to drink water
out of a bottle,
the water
must be poured
into a glass
she sleeps
on the couch
in the den
more often than
she sleeps
in her bed
obsessive
crocheter
she has had
the same car since
i was a baby,
possibly longer,
& i'm almost 30
(that god damn car looks better than she does)
if given the
opportunity
i think
she would
fuck sean connery
growin' up
i believed
she loved the
chicago cubs baseball team
more than
life itself
i'm fairly
certain that
her parents
were german
i do know
that she was
raised
on a farm
come time to
pay a bill,
which is done
within a day or two
upon reception,
she goes into
grandpa's study,
gets out the checkbook,
fills out the check,
& commences to shove
that motherfucker
in the mailbox
real quick like
once when i was
a little, little boy
grandpa told me to
call her goofy
because she was
actin' silly
the name stuck.
