I can hear my mother calling me

she tells me how well I done

she couldn't be more proud of

anyone I spoke to the spirit 

these words were true 

all I ever wanted to do is to love 

my mother and please you 

I can hear my mother calling me

she’s in the kitchen cooking 

up something good to eat

I lift the top off the pot to see

before I could get a taste 

the moment passed away

I can hear my mother calling me

I answer softly “yes ma’am" 

here I am she tells me the 

thing I done wrong then beats

me like I’m a runaway slave 

so next time I’ll know how to 

behave I go back to my room 

I lick my wounds and curse

the womb from which I came

I call out to the spirit these 

words are true all I ever 

wanted was to love my 

mother and to please you

I see two trains headed 

toward each other I don’t

want to see them crash

these words I speak 

untruthfully I always fail to 

look away I sense the back

doors insecure I go to find 

it ajared before I can fix it

to close I see someone 

in the yard suddenly I 

hear a loud voice ask

"were you born in a barn”

I don’t know what it means

and I never did I know I’m

of age but it’s like I’m still

a kid on punishment with no

idea of  what I done

literally “it beats me” 

the thought defeats me  

 I close my eyes I drift off

to sleep I can hear my mother

calling me I get out of bed

to go and see open the door 

and walk into a dream 

and for the life of me 

I don’t know what it mean
