thinking of a friends post and this idea that she brought up, i have too. this question that pops up for me when I'm in some kind of place. the idea that i will never be more than my mother's daughter, another way of saying that I'm really just my mother. what of the essential things that are left like the last few broken strings on a guitar that only play one song, the same song for all of eternity. reduced to the essential that feels essentially untruthful and also, like whining. more like whining the older i get. is this my dying song? is this my family's eternal dying song? what is its function?
