Mother--

mother

i am bone of your bone

flesh of your flesh

your voice, warm with wisdom

continually echoes

the mind is ruler over the body

the will can tame the desire

wise words

tell me, where did you find such wise words?

I am enlightened now

beyond the reach of your mean mind

i find myself wondering how

uneducated, untaught, you say such things

in the final analysis

(they tell me it is a clinical disorder)

my mind, as you so strongly said

has ruled my body

and now,

i wish that i could kill my aching sphere of thought

 (just playing with words, remember? I like my mom, even if we drive each other nuts. No, this is not about her. I was just playing!)
