I promise I will give you the moon on a stick

if you quit saying Jesus Christ, Fuck’s sake!

if your dirty clothes land in the hamper,

if you turn off cell phone at meals,

if you quit sleeping all day,

if you comb your hair,

if you get a job!

 

I promise to give myself the moon on a stick

if I quit my constant eating day in and out,

if I stop obsessing at 1 in the morning,

if I halt mooning around the house,

if I annul my habit of put downs,

if I give up consuming meat,

if I declutter the house.
