Tapestry

[Liza Blue]

My mother felt the sting of being regulated to "just a 1950s housewife." As she did chores around the house she would sing a little ditty to herself -

What happened to all that priceless precious knowledge

That I learned at Vassar College

Now I stand before the sink

And never did I think

I'd spend my days wiping grit

And toothpaste spit.

To hell with all this shit.
