Silly Putty and Shhhhhhhhhht

(C) Stephanie R. Josiah 2012


Today a new feeling has slipped up on me.
Something I had forgotten
perhaps trapped between the silly putty
and the toy I wedged it in


I never did get that dang putty out
I digress
a dream I had
a way I wanted to be before this world


ripped that plan out of my hands
and replaced it with a steaming
terd
no rainbows anymore


just feces
and I've been shoveling the
"stuff" this life and "their" butts
or mouths have leaked


ever since
well I say "no more".
I may have to step around it
when you drop it


but I'm not picking it up for you
I remember that little girl
27 years of dreaming
and princes riding in to save the day


they never came, they always left
and they still do
but I
I still have me


and those dreams
I scribbled in putty
everyone else can keep their
shhhhhhhht
