My mamms

got jammed

and crammed

while grammed

this morning.

When Shorty

turns forty

Oh Lordty

it ain’t no party.

The memory

of my mammaries

getting puddled,

prodded, and pulled

sends my

epidermis into

retreat because

it ain’t no treat

knowing the

mammogram is

an annual repeat.

I need

more tissue

to sop up

the impact

of my chest

space getting

hijacked, whacked, and

smacked about by

plastic plates

trying to smash

images out.

There should be

a more pleasant

way to gram

the mamms.
