Executive Function/Lady D
by Jenny Nix
Lady D
I have words circling in my head
Asking to assess my skill used most, with the exception of bed
Lady Distraction is honing her skills
Bedtime is needed, maybe some pills
She swallowed a rock that turned to seed
It started to grow big and strong
She opened her mouth, wide towards the sky
To make room for branches to understand why
They pushed her head further back with the force of their wood
They reached for the sun but only found small stars
The branches appeared to be made out of bars
They looked down from above and felt so free
For Lady Distraction had become a tree
How did it grow in the dark of the night?
Why did Lady D give up without a fight?So the tree would recognize each star is a sun
