sink or swim

cynthia’s not waiting

for a miracle no more

she’s taken it
upon herself

to be the change
they’re waiting for

she’s boning up
on how to do

and what to say
and when

and why not leave
and take the kids

and bring this
to an end

cynthia’s new action plan is risky,
sink or swim,

but she was slowly drowning
without ever jumping in
…..
