A bowl of pasta
Must wash my hair with the sauce
Immediately
Mommy's new iPhone
Sinks in the potty water
Mommy shouts bad words
In my open mouth
Doggie's crunchy brown kibble
Mommy's finger gags
My sister's long hair
I yank and pull big handfuls

MINE no one is listening
MINE I shout louder
Spoons are not for me
I will eat only with hands
Spoons will be thrown down
I find the markers
The wall is a blank canvas
Permanent artwork
