Mama's Eyes

This is the video that goes with this piece. I wrote this for class. The assignment was writing about art.

“To set the record straight”


Reflections are impulses

And some impose. Like,

A slight cleft must be

His daddy's chin.

He's playing a

Mean guitar,

The “Dad” model,

Capo at the fifth,

Like “Goodbye.”

The plaid western shirt,

With silky pearl snap buttons,

might be a hand-me-down

from you-know-who.
