I'VE GOT THIS PROBLEM WITH CRYING
Once I start,
I can't stop.
And waht makes it so awful is
that I cry any longer
than five minutes
(which of course I always do)
my eyes swell up like a boxer's
for at least twenty-four hours.
I've tried ice packs.
I've tried the cold cucumber cure.
I've even tried raw steak.
But nothing works
Ever.
So when I've been crying,
I pray for sunshine
because if it's cloudy out
everyone keeps asking me
why I'm wearing my sunglasses,
and I get so embarrassed
that I start to cry,
and once I start,
I can't stop.
