Mom tosses clothes all over her bed
tears out seams
See that green dress, a skirt
this silk blouse,
a jacket
rip sew press
Split open close
Betsy J said
“let seams show”
This wool dress a skirt the pink linen
A a scarf who knows
My dear girl You will be given scripts
Don’t let anyone tell you
what to say to ask Tear
it up Spread the scraps over your desk
The beginning is
The end
A woman must split open close
rip out what seems
A woman has to be more than seen
Listen to me listen to your mother
You have to
Do not listen to me
