MOTHER'S FIRST
Dear Mother-- you frightened the hell out of me age of 8... told me that I was to be surrendered to an orphanage. Dear Mother-- you mortified me age 17 when you accused me of eavesdropping on you and my father's bed chamber activities... You have bequeathed to me a dark foul bile of toxins that threaten my life moment by moment, day in and day out. Amen. Cop
