“What will you do the rest of your life;
Now that you’re nobody’s mother or wife?”
(*Maybe I'll learn to eat peas with a knife!)

“You can’t just work 8 hours a day; and spend the rest at useless play!
Be a cop! That’s it dear! What you need’s a new career!”
“Don't just sit there on a shelf; Go make something of yourself!”
(*I’m not your “dear” you 6-foot elf!)

Since I’m not half of someone else; is it so hard to find me?
We’ve worked together 15 years; and NOW you redefine me?

I took my selfhood WITH me! I took my person BACK!
You talk like I’m a teenager; too lazy in the sack!
(*Too bad I can’t speak jackass; or I’d be braying back!)

(I was counting on your friendship to bolster my morale:
How odd to learn I’ve morphed into a wanton femme fatale!
Standing here in oil-soaked jeans, no make-up, wrinkled, mussy;
Smelling like a diesel truck; your classic brazen hussy!)

Got it now! I’m ALIEN! That was a bit confusing!
I’m single; I'm no longer “safe” to call your friend?—(amusing!)
(*Not to worry, you’re not on;
The gene pool of my choosing!)

It’s time we got to work here folks; I gotta get my tools;
See ya later fellas; enjoyed your little ruse!

You’ll have to come to terms with this;
No matter what it takes;
I need this job, get over it;
I’ll not pull up my stakes!
(*Feel free to use my guillotine;
and have yourself some cake!)

I like this conversational style. Reminds me of someone I worked with once who I kind of had a crush on. I'd offer a Kleenex when she sneezed, she'd say, you're not my mother, I'm a big girl now.
Also reminds me of e Farm, this place where people go to make things on their own. What do you make, or what's a career? There's a rebellious gravity here that is real and individualistic.
Also reminds me of my eleven year old daughter of whom I'm quite fond.
Thanks, I enjoyed reading this very much.
Peace!

I love this! There were moments when my marriage ended, I was despondent at losing my other half. But there were many moments when becoming independent in a way I'd never been was exhilarating. Learning to drive through snow, crawl through tunnels in underground caves, learning to patch a hole in a wall so it didn't show... all those little things I'd never had to experience before.

Feisty poem - yup!
Blessings, S.

I have a feeling you don't like being told. Who cares? I like your writing.

So can you fix my pinion seal? :p

I like the way this poem seems to be conversations that you're remembering.

There's lots of attitude in this one. Me likes!
