Mountain Women
Mountain Women
A woman blows into her hands
While her tank fills with gas she can’t afford.
Apparently he’s drinking again.
She might have to leave on a whim.
Another woman walks into a church
At a quiet moment during Mass,
The priest doing something holy,
Says, “Oops, I’m in the wrong place,” leaves.
Another woman knows what everyone wants
To drink. “Uh oh,” she says when he walks in.
“Yep.” “You gonna behave this time?” “Yep.”
“You better. You’re too fat for me to throw you out.”
Another woman went fishing by herself.
They found her four days later,
Wedged under a fallen tree,
Her waders ballooning obscenely
And one hell of a fish dead on the line.
