Skeptical that the artificial spice
Won’t fizzle and ruin her drink
She goes ahead and tries it anyway
Gets home that night and totally crashes
Wakes up hugging the porcelain throne
Wondering when her intelligence forsook her

Where my pen went to today

is to how what we think we need
is not always what we want
how the wanting outweighs the needing
when the needing is separated from the wanting.

Poem: Wants & Needs
"Do not forsake me oh my darling"
My mother loved that song
Grace Kelly & Gary Cooper
a love tested by circumstance
not by the need for individuation.

She did not build a spicy marriage
we had a home, a family inside
we had the rhythms of repetition
with no need for crash bang boom
there being so much to do in the living.

We had love.

I do not know when the skeptism crept in
the desire, the need for fizzle and sizzle.
I know only that desire became a need
and in that need I lost the want
presuming that it would always be there.

Now I have me.

All my needs are met,
desired, sizzling, brave and strong.
Wanting what my mother had, and realizing
for the first time, that it has to be built.
That my mother built it, and we grew in it.
I do not have what I want.
