Who Knew?

Did I ever think your mother

was right and a bag of beans

could come between us?

It was a call to dinner,

I didn't know how important

and yet I dared to open 

a bag of beans... as a vegetable.

Stove off... goodnight... I slaved...

Oh never mind.

Huh? Who's the drama queen now?

Not a sentence, not a snark, it 

isn't so, just a proclamation.

Enjoy your dinner and leave

me alone.

Okay, okay I fucked up and

am left wondering...

what happened here?

As I waited for the cardinal,

it never came. Could you

have read my disappointment?

The old world is done,

the bird still sings a happy caw.

I will not crow to what was,

but will sing as a nightingale

to what is, as a raven for evermore.

It's my plight, not worth

a bag of beans (your mom was right)

It's not worth a bag of beans.

Good night!
