Like Tide Detergent, Trauma

Poem (audio)

It’s seemingly
a hopeless case.
Some people, in need
of emotional cleansing,
are tied to the Trauma brand,
are addicted to it
and don’t want to be talked
out of not using it.

They’re loyal to the brand,
just as mom is to Tide detergent.
There’s no getting
through her and through them
in ditching their go-to,
that’s frequently and faithfully
used and stocked.
