The Itch
November 17, 2025

my mom, she’s all a ruckus now
don’t sweat the small stuff kiddo
she’d handed me deodorant
pushed me out the door

so here I am post run-about
exercise completed
having sweat the large stuff
pores clearly obliterated

mum’s called the paramedics
I say I’m fine, it’s fine
I’ll never be an oyster, mum
these pearls are for selling
