I Know
by Stroll

You did not care to know
about the ticking noise from my gut,
or my love for darkness.
You did not ask
about my birth from pure blood
or how I grew like poison ivy
from an apple seed.
You'd rather study
with a different kind of teacher.
Learning, from me, was a lasso
around your head.

I knew it all about you,
with your toys and bicylces,
your motor vehicle (a status symbol).
Here though, I was mother's milk.
Independece is easy to proclaim.
I was Mary, and I pushed you out
when you grew out from no filthy act,
though all my acts are filthy.

I'm sure now that I've checked
with my bones and crystal ball
that all I ever wanted
was not to want to have it all.

I will take my money.
I will take my pride.
I will always wonder
why you were by my side.
