iCurse

it’s seriously hard to be exact
although it did happen
during the night sometime
just before my thirteenth birthday
or there abouts
(pre ipod days
i was hoping for a cd walkman)

the unspoken curse
was always expected
as overnight
my cute bunches
morphed into a ponytail
and then everything went

whatever

school homework
whatever

tidy my room
whatever

home by nine thirty
whatever

it’s all so unfair
like you’d ruined my life
forever
i hated you then
you really didn’t care
but at least with my walkman
(oh yeah i never did
thank you for my pressie)
i could blank all yer
non stop nagging
