Spaziva!

:15:10
As my mother smacked me,
she cursed

:15:13
and yelled, "Maldito!
Bad seed!"

:15:16
She shouted at the sky,
"I want to get out of here."

:15:19
But I really wasn't sure
that's what she wanted.

:15:27
But now standing over me
:15:30
she looked like
a huge tree trunk.

:15:33
And if it didn't hurt so much,
I'd get down on my knees,

:15:38
and ask her to smack me again,
even harder.

:15:42
Then she became beautiful.
:15:44
How pretty she is in her skirt
made out of a sack

:15:48
and the blouse she stole
from her sister.

:15:51
I wanted to get up and beg
her forgiveness.

:15:53
I wanted to say,
"Mom, how pretty you are today.

:15:58
You look like
one of those women

:15:59
that you can only see
on Christmas cards,"
