On Vacation At Relatives In Chicago, July, '92
Pretty pretty pissed
under the crucible of emotional crosscurrents,
sinister sisters baking bread, a plane a minute
bringing in another load, sick on beer,
sick on wine, sick on love and pseudo-love.
Thank goodness for Sashals wisdom, the eldest
daughter she's been on her own, mostly,
proof-reading poems
in Laurel, Mississippi, baking
her own bread.
