Childhood Memories

when you said all men are bad

did you think that, maybe

you always picked bad men

scumbags, losers, creeps

guys you thought you could change

with your unrealized superpowers

but when you met that smart guy

who liked movies, who talked about them

who didn't need any changing

you didn't like him at all

and when you said a man's thing looks terrible

did you think that, maybe

you didn't need to say that to me

and when i was 15 and dropped out

and you said you wished i'd just

find a girl and settle down

did you think that, maybe...

oh mom, when you said these things

to me, your son

when i was just a kid

what the fuck were you thinking
