Eyes Wide Shut
I wanna go to Martha’s Vineyard, eat muscadines and drink wine.
I want my belly to swell with the fruit of our love.
I wanna drive on full and eat fillet mignon for breakfast.
I wanna live like God is my Father and Jesus, my Brother who saved me.
I wanna trust and never hate ‘n never be careful ‘bout nothin’.
I wanna be Scarlet in Scarsdale and Sr. Edward Crump at the Macy’s Day Parade.
I want green eyes and red hair. I want hips that don’t exist.
I want Oprah on the phone right now!
I wanna drive my baby to school.
I want tuna on toast with capers and sweet nectar pomegranate juice.
I wanna open my eyes....
