“Let’s Talk Part 3”

Let’s not.
—
You’ve been burrowing again.
—
I always do in winter.
—
Are you brooding?
—
You know, I’m not. I just like feeling suspended in my mind.
—
Cusp of adolescence, moods..
—
Cliches, mother.
—
Irony, child.
—
Learned it at your knee.
—
Bad boy.
—
I’m your favorite and you know it.
—
Since you’re growing up, could you cut out the tantrums?
—
Unreasonable matriarch. My melodies will live eternally.
—
I worry about you.
—
I know. Your heart is always talking.
—
What will you become?
—
Everything that happens around me.
