CARIN SMEATON
How the world’s gone 2 he11 since Oprah retired
U was always there
(making peace 0ƒ us ratbags)
0prah
just when we thought it could ne√r b done
go∂ ∂a∑
U gone done did it ye
we remember ∂em mamas with the scorpions pinned 2 their hearts
we saw with our very own eyes mean lean queen machine Oprah
gathering the mo†hers of the date tree together
sum dum dums might simply call it a book club
(but Hell whatever)
Oprah
u did it with ∂a warmth n confidence oƒ a high priestess flying a raptor thru the most
ancient of clouds while the big Go∂s questioned ur sanity
& loyalty
∂i∂ ∂a ancient pimps oƒ occupied land kno u waz the only worthwhile peep show in
town mama?
oƒcourse
we chanted
Oprah
Oprah
Oprah
WINFREY
we totally hooted our lil hearts out 4 u Oprah on & on a sofa working out
the damaged goods
∂a butt pains
in real time in real terms live streaming hurt n fury
if anybody knew
u knew
∑a∑a
that the most signiƒicant thing to ∂o with ur liƒe was †o ∂ie*
that the only good thing about war is we can change it 2 peace within minutes*
(if we chose to)
Revela†ion comes when we least expect it
lyk while in the thick of dying
or in ∂a midst of a grieving mother’s orgasm
with her heart (locktt in) beating
yearning pleading! take me!take me!take me 0
god!
someplace else?
(only jus† bring back my child)
in the end it was clear dear Oprah
that ∂em mamas would all leave ur sofa as friends ye
it was our vain hope & ur gift 2 us all
