SMACK!
| they underestimate her Jennifer Noyce |
Grandma's thoughts won't leave me; my blanket is too well tread. Don't believe in anything said in spirit of superstition, but angels, demons, home are real. She thinks in concrete sentences; her meniscus of thought reaches just past too much. They underestimate her. They think her a bit brash. She holds me too long, doesn't pretend to hide the matter. She collects my work. I believe in the spirit of old woman vigor, of the unconquerable dying out. |
