MUTUAL AGREEMENT - Mothers

Hard to focus

Efforts fruitless

Mirror high-brow bullshit

Sit still and

Quietly dissect the motive

Miniature when

I agree at once

Forgetting my body

Give into

Something scary

Feel the made-up feelings

It is said so many different ways

Distinguish conjecture from genius

Unconvinced of my contribution

Give all of your improvements

Left to contest speculation

Near-sighted, safe again

Is this how you stay honest?

Our mutual agreement

How you stay honest when

I’m on my way out

Make up like always
