pine table size 3 wine toned Mary Jane’s from Roebucks and Sears
chair aged and rubbed faded in all the places Sherlock Holmes would investigate
faded Levi jeans holed at the knees fixed with a Wonder Woman patch
Tupperware plate off beat psychedelic green and she sipped her hootch from fine bone China
blue eyes to me liver and onions gold chains on her cleavage and one scrambled egg on her rye toast and butter
Starsky and Hutch were fixin’ to start and those damned brussel sprouts between me and the screen
then the neighbor comes by and they both lose their minds over some CBS scandal
now is my chance i run to the trash flip up the flap and in goes the midget cabbage
and i watched my whole show practiced the Huggy Bear victory stroll while celebrating my four year old courage
words less spoken 
Personally, I like brussel sprouts…

Who was your companion, your mother, grandmother, guardian or imagination? Small victories are always best. I hate brussel sprouts, butter, macaroni and cheesecake. Always have and always will.

I can’t stand Brussel sprouts they taste like rubber and smoke – maybe I’m just not cooking them right
