Iamb Paper

[milo]

Paper thin

Exercising self control amidst the
Xenolithic comments from my mother
Terrorizing moments over pizza
Right as always even though im butt hurt
Any one could see she really loved us
Saving all her best insults for dinner
Easily the safest time for what was
Never a safe place for little sinners

Survival isn't just for food and water
Imagining if I'd turn out like her
The evil twist of fate that could occur
In making my kids run in fear from father
Vestigial like she's rooted in my dirt
Essential i surrender to succor

Xenolithic is what mothers say
when melding foreign words to good greek stone
but paper mothers tend to the mache
and tending often means - to leave alone

and paper mothers fixed to crooked hangers
and stuffed with candy like a spoiled brat
so often paper mothers lift their angers
like lifting up a wooden birthday bat

so tie a paper donkey to a tree
and spin me round about without a thought, a
solid crack will teach that "birthday bee"
the difference between flesh and a pinata

so think of this my boy before you steal
the candy covered chocolate from her meal

Not doing any acrostics
