Virginia's Story

Elizabeth Gates-Wooten is my Grand mom.

She was born in Canada with her father and brothers.
They owned a Barber Shoppe.
I don't remember exactly where in Canada.
I believe it was right over the border like Windsor or Toronto.
I never knew exactly where it was.

When she was old enough she got married.

First, she married a man by the name of Frank Gates.
He was from Madagascar.
He fathered my mom and her brother and sister.
The boy's name was Frank Gates, Jr.
Two girls name were Anna and Agnes.

Agnes was my mother.

Frank Gates went crazy after the war
He drank a lot and died

Adele (Cinquian)

Adele
Soothing great voice
Enough to make time stop
Her song that takes the breath away -
That's art!

I was a wonderful parent before I had children. I was an expert on why everyone else was having problems with theirs. Then I had three of my own.

When we acknowledge a child's feelings, we do him a great service. We put him in touch with his inner reality. And once he's clear about that reality, he gathers the strength to begin to cope.

So, am i what you want

my truths lack brutality
and yet even my gentle honesty pains you.
you blend me in..to your couch, wall, potplants-
see me again..
im dizzy from your accusations..
the ones before the one before.
i am no longer the me you wanted..
but then,
neither are you.

Plus Size

Are u a plus size girl?
Now dun be mad, girl
Just stating a fact, girl
Not that you overeat, girl

Sometimes it could be, girl
A medical condition, girl
Stuck in that position, girls
Being a woman, girls
Juggling career, family, girls

Going into menopause, girls
Can play havoc, girls
To our weight, girls
Hormones at play, girls
Or lack of it, girls

Plus size is in, girls
Throw the diet in the bin, girls
Sexy curves, girls

Preconceptions

Soft as white satin sheets
Life the hardest diamond
You're like the willow breeze
You are the ideal with thorns
Boughs of paradise
Rivers of doubt
We whisper afraid of the pillars
Rosewood guitars
They hold you from me
They are court vultures
Feel the moon by Venus
Sanity is red
Red fingernails of pearl
Memory the lion of silk
They teach you to control you
Are we souls in the same mirror?

Where are you tonight?
By the border streetlamp
By the charlatans of ivory
