going to Hotlanta soon
gonna be a rich kid tycoon.
see my mamma and take her to church
of course that is if Ms POA
does not leave us in the lurch.

freak of control and hubris
that is...plan to see what is going on.


late at night when i am alone with
my thoughts and ideas...i wonder
what God thinks about children who
do not honor mothers and fathers.
especially those who were taught to know
better.

better is all that our parents ever wanted for
their children. better schools.
better jobs, better neighbors, better

Ms POA is an attorney. her younger
brother is a minister. her estranged older
siblings are a social worker and
an international business development
specialist.

of course, as an attorney, Ms POA can't be concerned
with right and wrong. that is not better...just stupid (perhaps).
although i work with them every day, i have little

through the myriad questions. i think so many think
