Excerpt from What’s in my Head by Lisa Anderson:
Play on Words
“I don my clothes at dawn
we could meet at the meat market
the sun is beaming on my son
tie a knot loose it is not
so you like to sew?
I can’t wait to go to the gym I need to lift some weight
I don’t want to waste it, but I don’t want to add to my waist either I see the stormy sea
the southern Belle rang the bell”
