SISTERS
a group poem by the women in Jobstart 3

a child running in circles in the hall
a woman grabbing another woman
from behind, lifting her off the rug
a woman sitting on a couch
a woman devouring a bologna sandwich,
a bitter, stale gummi rabbit
“It’s never been about you.”

 the soothing taste of cinnamon
slivered almonds splashing the creamy,
sweet icing of a cake
yellow roses glistening with sunlight
“You’re a good listener.”

 

SUCCESS IS
by Alfred, The Fisherman’s Project
 

Money
Money
Cash Money 

Brother I can’t spare a dime
Without bothering my conscience.
