Big Ass

Big ass SUV
to carry big ass man
with his big ass kids
to his big ass home
with a big ass mortgage
and a big ass pool
that distracts you
from his big ass
insecurity

and his big ass wife
wears a big ass ring
on her big ass finger
to show all her
big ass friends
the kind of big ass
love this big ass
man has for her

and they eat in
their big ass dining room
with lots of big ass
space between them
and their big ass kids
who want very little to do
with big ass mom and dad
because they have their own
big ass concerns waiting
for them
in their big ass rooms
each equipped with a big ass
big screen tv

and the big ass son has a
big ass truck
and the daughter has a big ass
tattoo just above here
big ass big ass

and they're all in a
big ass hurry to
get to the next big
ass thing
that they think will soothe
the disturbing and unsettling
big ass questions in their souls

so the next time I see
the big ass overfed and
well to do
flaunting their big ass
out of control
desire

I’ll be thankful
for my modestly placid
small
world.

    This is big ass fun, Mosk. Love what you did with the prompt. Getting a little heat down your way? I read the desert is supposed to be 112 tomorrow. Now I know why I don't stay there year round.

      Yes, as I allude, all the big ass stuff is overcompensation for big ass insecurity - I should know! Thanks!

    I'm using dodgy hotel wifi, but I just had to hold out for the recording, and after a lot of strolling up and down my room, and waving my ipad in the air, it finally played.....and was so totally worth the wait...awesome!

    A small ass world, I take it. There has to be a collective noun for so many closely places asses...?

    Assembly, I suppose.
