mama always shares
her brooches – gold, silver, cultured
pearls, multi-stoned – we

dare to look ageless, protected
from time by our talismans

with the right

be guilty –

be guilty
we have all
raised our go-to

patience and virtue

patience and virtue
often sit together
in the lunchroom,
rubbing elbows like
old buddies,
but it’s a real

neither likes
the other very
much – their
mamas, glisten
and gold, just
painted another
situation
