The War

I got 14 emails today

but none of them are really for me It’s only special offers

and invitations to the blues

The telephone rang three times today

I answer it - because it could be my Mom

Telling me that Dad is dead but instead

But it’s always someone who says my name wrong ---------------

I feel the war coming on

Don’t you ?

Remember Snow White and the poison apple? Who is the fairest of them all ?

Staring into the magic mirror
