“ Mother im bored”
“go play a game”
“ I have played them all”
“ go watch tv”
“ I have watched it all”
“ go read a book”
“ I have read them all”
“Go to the store”
“ I have bought it all”
“ Go to sleep”
“ I have slept to long”
“ go and eat”
“ I have ate it all, from beans to turkey to dressing to cake, I have nothing to fufill my longing. I am stressed and I have yet nothing to do. Oh I bet that poor girls don’t feel this stress I have, for they are not as fulfill in the things that I am fulfilled in, and yet I am still needing something I don’t have. What is yet to own? My father is rich, and has bought me a thrown. For the money he has, I also own. Oh I bet that poor girls don’t feel this stress I have.”

“momma I am cold”
“ Well we have no heat, play a game to distract your mind”
“ I wish to do so, bit we have none to play”
“well watch tv”
“ momma we don’t have a tv”
“well read a book”
“ I don’t know how”
“Go to the store”
“ we have no money, not even for food”
“ well go to sleep”
“ momma I don’t have a bed, father is asleep in the only one we own, because he has to go to work soon to his 4th or 5th job”
“go and eat”
“ there is not even the smallest crumb on the floor, even if it were I would eat it with my tong. That tiny ol’e crumb would fulfill my modest hunger, for I have not ate in days and we have no money to spend. I have nothing to fulfill my longing. I am stressed and I have yet nothing to keep warm, or nothing to eat. Oh I bet that rich girls don’t feel this stress I have, for they own it all except for a heart to keep them part and yet I am still needing something I don’t have. What is yet to love? My father is poor, and has giving me roof, and a blanket, what more should I need. For my father may be poor at life but he is rich in the heart. Oh I bet rich girls don’t feel this stress I have.”
