DSM-I

(THE DARK KNIGHT
LOVES THE DSM-I)

last winter when mama started
wearing lipstick as eye shadow.
her lids were round and droogy.
gave me a gold scarf that
smelled like greasy weed cig 
and oils.

started telling me gravity didn’t exist.
started telling me to use my eyes.
started telling me of the twin brother she
lost at birth. (CIA took him away – 
he was super human – it all makes 
sense now).

made me wonder of the too long time 
we waited outside her friend’s house 
and started to weed a heart out in the dirt 
in her garden there and the friend 
didn’t like that she wanted her garden 
wild O that feeling.
