was at Sears and Roebucks.
a blue couch
and a round coffee table
that you were
yelled at for
putting your feet on.
she was on a budget
for fifty years.
generic ketchup in the fridge
toxic pots and pans
from China
that killed her parakeet.
twenty dollars a month
was her allowance
for yarn
and candy.
did my mother love him?
probably not.
but you can't show resentment
and anger to the guard
who owns you.
it'll cost too much.
