don't roll your eyes at me

don't roll your eyes at me
my mother would
say.
my ex wives would say.
my teachers would
say.
my dog would say
if he could actually say
anything, other than bark
incessantly.
i believe i'll make it my
signature look and take
it to the grave, lying
there in wake. unable
to shake my head at
people crying, 
my eyes rolled up, just
the same.
