A Good Little Girls Zine

Patience Baby

Baby bulbous bubbles sprout to the surface
spiraling to the top and bursting into fizz
each eager bulb excitedly bouncing around;
they spin together playing ring-around-the-rosy

and I listen to the delicate drizzle of their meeting
thirsty to be one of them,

Patiently awaiting my turn.
