Swim Shorts
She’s wearing swim shorts That don’t fit her And never will Because her buns are too small She calls it her booty And shakes it Which is hilarious Because she’s five But what can you expect Growing up in WeHo Will she be the first to feel true liberation? I have felt bits of it, through her Because it’s easy not to give a fuck When you’re a mom. Well you have to choose, But once you do, It takes work for them to hurt you Because it’s endlessly easy to protect her At all costs. Now I realize why women are so terrifying and I love it! So she’s wearing the swim shorts With the gaps And heaving her dive sticks One by one Into the pool And she wants them scattered Because it’s harder that way and “Harder is more fun” And I realize this is the point of it all, Of this life, and all our other lives before, She wore baggy swim shorts.
