Too often, good parenting
is confused with good feelings.
No parent feels good about
putting their foot down
but a downed foot teaches better
than a mouth always curving up.

notesleep
playing my emphases like harp strings
your voice smokes thru the oaken bramble
pour a carbonated apology, a sun-stained
mile marked envelope, two ill-fitted birds,
hands small holes right before a rush of river
what it feels like being swallowed from the outside
crushing rings into truth serum, pretend
to be out of tune with that deception
I have been unable to parse my own persona
a pink cotton voice I remember thru the phone
I remember because it formed me into a granary
one crop after another of patriarchal idioms

We dine on starlight
and dance to the rhythm of the fractal void

authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love

Positive reinforcement is the best way to teach anyone anything. But it's like wine, positive reinforcement takes time to earn and is not instantaneous.Browse Bitlets

Most effective bit of parenting I ever experienced was when my granddad loosened my teeth after I backchatted my nan. I never did it again.
