Inner voice: didn't see you for a while.
Poetess: I was cleaning the bathroom.
From 11:30 pm to 2 am.
Inner voice: where?
Poetess: at home,
Where do you think?
I am sorry, but this what we have in common here.
Between me and all the women.
Now one is sitting with me.
There are three empty tables and we are talking about my hamburger and her soup.
All I hear is dusting .. what is it any way?
Carpet, sink, ..., whatever..
Today I woke up very early, at 6 am.
And then went back to sleep for five minutes..
At 8 J friend woke us up.
I am getting ready,
Faster then people who trying to hide,
Then J wants breakfast, then slamming the door when I am dressing to sign some school paper.
Then I had to stop to get coffee for me.
(to Inner voice): are you writing it down?
Sister: what is the point of this story?
Grandma: cleaning the toilet.
Aunt: can we be more delicate.
Poetess: I've mentioned it few times at work already.

Poetess : I am standing on the scale and it shows 50 pounds!
I am not fifty pounds?
Grandma : save us at least from that.
Sister : what did you eat?
Aunt: may be two hundred and fifty.
You can't be one fifty, not on this video.
Poetess : if I go to the part I want to look my best.
I will say, I wrote unknown story and will stay quiet.

Inner voice (washing dishes for about an hour): slavery is not over my friends..
(looking at to do list): bathroom, carpet, couch, washing clothes in room temperature)
Inner voice: slavery is not over my friends..
It only has another name "work, house work and bills".
And this why this story is called "Super Baby".
Super Baby: I am seventy five years old,
Thank you very much.
Now I can only jump on the healthy dinner, bed, my wife - mother of my children, grandmother of my grandchildren and great grandmother of my great grand children.
I can babysit too...
I am not saving the world,
That's for sure.
And not wearing glasses either.
Donald (on TV): this what I am telling you people too.
What do you expect?
A miracle?
Go to work where you work yesterday and be happy.
Hilary (applauds at home): Bravo! (and goes to work).

90s
I was watching TV with my father,
Don't remember what it was...
Then the news...tanks and people with red and three color flags.
My father is calling my uncle: turn on TV.
The point of this story is not politics.
Only it's good to be young and careless.
I went to play with my girlfriends outside...

Why the school doesn't give books for Grade 1,
How am I supposed to teach my child at home?
Mom: this what they want.
Poetess: three hours of fighting and arguing.
Then J went to cry in the another room.
He said he doesn't want to study.
It's like his teacher said no home work.
I can't understand what he writes,
The teacher corrects it and gives smily face.
Aunt: I never trusted teachers.
What is is a smily face mark?
Inner voice: wierd.

Inner voice: how is the work battlefield?
I like this idea of employment: bother yourself and bother everyone else.
Should I write it in our category "Smart thoughts" or "Just thoughts"?
Poetess: write in "Just thoughts".
And in "Smart thoughts" write for me:
Then older I am, then less I care.
Inner voice: is this your thought or some one else though?
I don't want to have problems with other smart people.
