Brain Fart

Filed under Life, Poetry, original fiction

I’m not your Mom
so don’t stomp & cry
If my words
tell no lies.

Take it like-a man
as you always say
When you’re cursin’ the world
in your special way.

Double standards
don’t fly with me
and you call them out
when aimed at thee.

But when you find
the tables turned
You don’t get to cry
that you’ve been burned.

If you see yourself
in the words I write
Take a look,
don’t aim for flight.

If you can’t laugh
when you see yourself
Then something’s wrong
with your inner elf.

Being offensive,
defensive, reprehensive
Are all a part
of what is known as the brain FART.
