Mama knows best “Don’t get married!” Mama would say As she watched Me unwrapped the Ken doll I had been begging For since Christmas “Don’t get married!” Mama would say When she caught Me looking out the window at the boys Chilin on the stoop “Don’t get married!” Mama would say When she listened To me and my friends singing ‘Camille and Jake sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g’ “Don’t get married!” Mama would say As we returned From the store and purchased My first box of Maxi pads “Don’t get married!” Mama would say When I professed My undying love to Jordan In a note left on the kitchen table “Don’t get married!” Mama would say When I announced I was pregnant And dropping out of school “Don’t get married!” Mama would say Clearing the table, pausing Staring at Daddy’s empty chair Blowing out air
