Poem: "Rita"

By Peyton Ceboll

rita hayworth makes smoking look

so cool beautiful woman i want

to be like rita hayworth desirable

loved wanted by men envied

by women she was an alcoholic

distant with her children alzheimers

destroyed her mind wasted away

like my great grandmother she

was afraid the sheets were there

to choke her whats your name

isnt that a pretty plant whats your

name isnt that a pretty plant made

my grandma walk into the woods

and scream hidden away from her

portrait of jesus hanging in the

kitchen wanted to be a singer like

rita hayworth who smokes and

makes it look so cool
