A Good Little Girls Zine

Everything has meaning,
Everything has meaning,
Everything must have meaning,
So she goes, eyes narrow, binoculars on,
observing the actions, inactions, actions, inactions
analyzing, interpreting, defining

Her subject?
Her subject unknowingly continues her daily routine with ease,
adding in elements, deleting agenda items, completely unaware and unfettered
She does it all: mothers, hosts, cooks, cleans, converses
Like that large red EASY button, she finishes her day
one filled with so many more responsibilities than the meaning maker could ever envision

Her conclusion?
Some are graceful
others pine, pine, then pine some more–
A force that inevitably leaves them deflated.
